Question

[mrmoribund]

An interesting question is the degree to which it will help in the upcoming Apple hearing that they've just settled with Motorola.

I suppose, technically, it shouldn't matter at all. Either the patent is on point--on pure logic--or it isn't. On the other hand, it will surely sound good in court when the judges are told that Motorola has recently settled. No getting away from the fact that the matter will be determined by human beings.

If I have my history right, this resembles the 2013 heartbreak, where everyone but Apple had settled, Apple fought anyways and won a result that could have gone either way.

Is my history more or less right? Cabbie or others?

Regardless, I'm sure the ghost of that case will be present in the courtroom on Friday.

Having sat in the court room in Marshall TX, I can tell you that even Apple looked defeated. They pulled a bunny out of the hat. The CAFC refused to overturn the district court decision. This time, the CAFC will factor two wins for Wilan at the district court. Precedent is in our favor mrmoribund.

The CAFC only looks at "did the jury hear evidence to arrive at their verdict"? That is why juries are total cr@p shoots.  They can go either way.   It just ends up being a "battle of the experts".  And whoever the jury sides with.  And Ken Stanwood is an American inventor so American juries would sympathize with that.  Not so for a Canadian
