The other shoe

The other shoeThe other shoe to drop is follow-up to the Apple verdict.  I'm not a patent lawyer, so don't really know the merits of Win's claim, basically trust management on that stuff.  But having read the instructions to the jury (and done some selling immediately), my conclusion is that jury trials are the wrong mechanism to settle highly technical disputes, and a jury judgement on fine technical distinctions and subtle logic is basically a coin-flip.  And the more complicated it gets, the stronger the built-in bias in favour of a status quo verdict (i.e. don't wallop the plaintiff if you don't understand the arguments).  So, as many have already said on this board, win should appeal.

But what is the time period available for seeking to appeal, and what are the permissible grounds?  Anybody a lawyer who already knows?  Otherise, I will see what I can find out.

In addition to the obvious, an appeal is now needed tactically as part of supporting the value of the company and looking for bids, if that is actually happening....
