How about any judge who passes judgement on things like this, has to learn to program just a little bit. Just so they can understand how trivial some things are

How about any judge who passes judgement on things like this, has to learn to program just a little bit. Just so they can understand how trivial some things are, compared with others.
It does sound like the original patent was bogus. How can you patent something so obvious and trivial as this? If you can sum up the idea in pretty much a single sentence as you can here, should raise a few flags.
- djahng 18y agoI agree with you in that the judge and jury probably didn't understand the first thing about patent at all. Unfortunately that's not what the lawsuit was about. It was that Apple was aware of the patent and infringed upon it anyways. I think the patent process needs some major reform. After all, Apple is trying to (or did by now?) patent the pinch. And then there's the person who patented the use of a laser pointer to play with a cat...
- lutorm 18y agoOMG, that is actually a patent. I thought you were joking.
- vaksel 18y agoI think they just rely on expert testimony from both sides to help convince them
