It sounds like the patent owner took the case personally, made every other juror there fantasize about owning patents and being screwed over, and greed won their opinions at the end of the day.
- reginaldo 14y agoI believe he fantasized himself. Does anyone know of post 1990s a case where the small guy won in patent litigation against BigCo (I'm genuinely curious)? If it was his patent, I think he would want to defend it, but I doubt he could.
- mdwrigh2 14y agoIf you look at the quotes, it's pretty obvious he took it personally: "When I got in this case and I started looking at these patents I considered: ‘If this was my patent and I was accused, could I defend it?’” Hogan explained. On the night of Aug. 22, after closing arguments, “a light bulb went on in my head,” he said. “I thought, I need to do this for all of them." -- Jury Foreman (http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-08-25/apple-samsung-jury-foreman-says-google-e-mail-persuasive http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-08-25/apple-samsung-ju...)
