1 edit | Re: Patent law on patenting processes needs a mjor overhaul said by bigunk  :Fair enough. You may well be more schooled in patent law than I. No problem here, but am I right as far as what I have written? Not knowing what was presented in court - I don;t know. But a US patent carries with it the presumption of validity (i.e., the imprimatur of the patent office having granted it after an examination).
In patent litigation, the patent owner will be confronted with the best prior art available by the infringer(s)/defendant(s) in court. Based on what the article says, it seems that the judge/jury did not believe that the patent claims were invalid. That is why the judge ruled the way he did, assuming that the judge is all up there (if you know what I mean).
These cases usually end up on appeal to the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, where US district courts judges are routinely reversed. Trial judges with no technical background are incapable of handling these technical cases, IMHO. |
