This case is great for startups, incidentally. Apple has been distinctly reluctant to support patent reform that would threaten their own mountain of garbage software patents. A few billion dollars in bogus jury verdicts -- especially if they have to actually pay them -- might make Apple reconsider taking the trolls' side in Washington so often. All we need after that is to get IBM and Microsoft back on the side of ending software patents as they once were before getting so many themselves.
