Ausdauer, re: "Anyone have a rough idea how long a patent nullification trial can go on?" The correct answer is ... "forever". If a defendant has the resources, there is now end to a trial. It can go on beyond the statue of limitations (typically seven years) as they appeal and reappeal. If and when the matter gets to the Supreme Court and the Defendant loses, he simply files a new action at a lower level and starts the matter over from the beginning. In the U.S., a man with enough money could rape a nun on the pitcher's mound during the world series -- in front of 100,000 live winesses and 50M TV viewers -- openly admit to the crime -- and still stretch the trial out for decades.
