In my dreams, it was P. Barnes stunning this dude. Or Stone Cold. But seriously, what the gently caress, jackbooted thugs. You had one job - not to legitimize these idiots.

Some quotes from a jurorOregonLive posted:"It should be known that all 12 jurors felt that this verdict was a statement regarding the various failures of the prosecution to prove 'conspiracy' in the count itself – and not any form of affirmation of the defense's various beliefs, actions or aspirations,'' Juror 4 wrote Friday in a lengthy email to The Oregonian/OregonLive. lmao

Honestly, I think the prosecution must have done a very poor job in closing connecting facts to instruction and it sounds like they mostly focused on "look at this bad poo poo" over "here's why this bad poo poo shows conspiracy." Yeah, you might have had a hang from peoplr like 4, but a good closing would have given other jurors something to hang their hat on when the opposed #4. Closing is at least in part about giving your jurors an arguement for what you want. Clearly juror 11 had no such ammo or he'd have had a juror or 2 with him and his dismissal would have mattered less. I think it is highly unlikely it was a jury of 11 sovcits. It was 1 or 2 strong sov cits and a whole bunch of weak jurors. The prosecution probably assumed their case was so strong that they didn't want more strong jurors (which increases the likilhood of a hang).

No colleagues to tell you that an appeal was filed? Just respond with your posts in this thread. It's not like you can have any confidence in the island law system at this point.

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/10/the-man-behind-the-nations-most-litigious-patent-troll-has-spoken/ I don't know enough about patent litigation to have an opinion, but the tech blogs I read certainly hate these people, and make a compelling case as to why I should as well.

More seasoned biglaw folks: For some reason, now that I've been at [firm] for a year, I get called at least daily by recruiters and such. I'm not looking to move yet, certainly, but they keep offering to meet quickly anyway to just talk through the market or future or whatever. Any of y'all think there's anything worthwhile to gain from talking to these folks, or not unless or until I'm actually thinking of upping sticks?

Gobbeldygook posted:I put most patent trolls below most of those. In most cases, patent trolls are a pure protection racket that do nothing but subtract value from the world, but e.g. health insurance company attorneys fight to prevent payments for useless treatments, against the company being defrauded, against those who simply don't like the contract they agreed to, etc. That is some serious capitalism-loving rationalization there. We're not talking about public defenders protecting poor people's rights here, we're talking about people who make a lot of money finding creative ways to deny healthcare to children and other people. There's no real (moral) currency in saying "I would rather see a thousand impoverished, sick children go untreated than let one non-sick child receive treatment!" I really don't give a poo poo about small businesses and their awkward patent conflicts in comparison to this. At least patent trolls are finding holes in some very hosed up systems (patents, capitalism, and the legal industry/system) and tearing them wide open for everybody to see.

Gobbeldygook posted:Even if Barack Hussein Obama nationalized all of the doctors and hospitals in America in the name of glorious communism and rededicated them to providing the best treatment possible for as many people as possible, there would still be government-side healthcare attorneys arguing against sick people getting uneconomical, inappropriate, and ineffective treatments that they really wanted. However, there won't be the same profit motive. There will be motivation to save money, but it's not the same. At my old union-side labor and benefits firm, I did some work for the determination board of a coal miner union healthcare fund, and while it still felt sickening to sometimes be involved in denying dental surgery to children or nitpicking the transportation costs of people who had to drive 800 miles to get brain surgery, there was at least the sense that all of these decisions were being done for the good of the community, and you tried to determine whether somebody really was supposed to receive treatment or reimbursement based on the wording of the plan and their actual needs. The patients about whom you were making these decisions were part of the same group of people you were being employed by to make these decisions, and denying somebody coverage for iffy reasons was not considered desirable. If you work for a private insurance company, however, every denial of coverage is a victory.

At least the guys that make a living suing small businesses for ADA violations are making the world more accessible to the handicapped. These guys (and MPHJ) aren't really what people talk about when they talk patent trolls most of the time. These guys are just relying on general desire to avoid litigation to force small settlements - they aren't the IVs or Acacias of the world, who are actually trying to extract real money from major companies. Those guys are also scum, but there's a vague justification for what they do (providing liquidity in the IP market) that the people in that article really don't deserve.

Well yeah there's a wide range of trolls/NPEs. I don't think there's anything really morally wrong for an NPE to target huge companies as they have the means to fight back. Plus, benefits from the patent system are basically monopolized by the giant multinationals anyway so nothing wrong with chipping away at them occasionally. I say all this as someone working in house at a giant multinational corporation.
