This just strengthens my cynicism on the general state of the law and the degree it generates justice. I'm hardly surprised anymore. Can anyone convince me that the judges in this case put more thought into this than the vast majority of the commenters here? Even when I try to play devil's advocate, it's hard to justify. The fact that you invented something, should not give you eternal rights to exclusively profit from it. Even the warped patent industry knows that. The laws of innovation should be a balancing act between incentive for the innovator and incentive to society, and this decision is way out of balance in detriment of society.
