Chief Judge Rader on the Supreme Court and Judge Posner
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, March 18 2013 @ 09:11 PM EDT
From my current understanding:

If the product is a software product, and you ask a court if
it doesn't infringe on some patent(s):
(1) The court may take a long time to answer, if ever;
(2) The answer will be "it does infringe".

So your answer is:
No, the product cannot enter the US market,
thanks to the provisions of Patent law which
encourage innovation.

What's so difficult? That the answer is only for the US
market?

Patents used for anti-trust purposes
Authored by: Ian Al on Tuesday, March 19 2013 @ 04:17 AM EDT
The DOJ v. Microsoft trial was on the basis of the Sherman Act which only deals
with the damage to the public interest of anti-competitive actions.

Chief Judge Rader is supposed to be cognisant of all of the law and not to pick
and choose. If his courts are being used to promote patent aggression for
anti-competitive activity then it is his duty to consider this 'commercial law
area' including the Sherman Act.

Software Patents: It's the disclosed functions in the patent, stupid!

“well I’m going to have to balance several factors and ask three courts"
[when that's what it will take to get an accurate answer]

Why did anyone hire him when he wasn't willing to put in the required effot?

Or is it that he's been promoted to get him out of peoples' hair?
