  now only one of the patents brought into the battle by Oracle against Android remains valid - all others have been declared invalid by the PTO (and one removed by Oracle)

    if there's ever a case that demonstrates the shoddiness software patents that are granted these days it's this one. Only 1 of 10 original patents in the suit remain as valid! (and I'd bet a dollar that one will go away as well) If that's extended out to all granted patents, fully 90% of software patents might be invalid.

      Its worse than that. These are supposed to be Oracle's 'good' patents. Imagine how bad the patents that they didn't even bother suing over are!

      > (and I'd bet a dollar that one will go away as well) I think it's probably not going to, but, it's a patent that Google can engineer around without a difficulty.
