Jim:

I still have a hard time figuring out how ERICY is going to find an expert witness to prove the USA patent office was wrong twice for approving the patents involved in the case. The reexamination process alone was two years.

Not entirely correct. Most likely, IDC is suing Ericsson for patent infringement. This is a two pronged defense for Ericsson. First, Ericsson will alledge that the patent is neither novel nor non-obvious. (Although, the patent was held valid through the re-examination through the US PTO, any art may be used against it)

Secondly, Ericsson will claim that they are not infringing on the patent(s) in question. Therefore, if the patent is not held invalid, then hopefully (for Ericsson's situation) the jury will determine that Ericsson is not infringing and therefore no judgement for the plaintiff (i.e. IDC).

I saw a post on Yahoo which stated that the US PTO found that Ericsson's products were infringing on IDC Patents. That statement was completely untrue.

Let the courts decide. U never know what will happen!
