Jim,

The jurors this time don't have to establish the validity of the patents as that will be established from the testimonies of the expert witnesses and decided at the Markman hearings.

All that's left is for the jurors to decide if there was infringement or not. My final question to you would be would ERICY spend all the court costs for seven years to try and invalidate patents they didn't infringe?

If you can answer yes to that then you do have all the answers.


LOL. That's why the IDC brief was peppered with numerous references to rules of grammar, Webster's dictionary and thesaurus. These verbal wars used to be conducted in front of the jury before Markman.

In so-called "Markman hearings," both sides in a patent litigation present their preferred claim construction to the judge prior to the commencement of trial. The judge then determines the literal scope of the claims and, in a jury trial, presents that meaning of the claims to the jury for comparison against the accused product or process and a determination of whether there is infringement.
