Just to clarify re this series of posts, the appellate court did not make any specific finding of fraud. Rather, the court of appeals simply determined not to grant an interlocutory writ, preventing discovery on an issue which the judge found could lead to admissible evidence of fraud.

Second, a finding of fraud by the jury in this context was a mixed question of fact and law. If, for example, the court of appeals finds that it is legally permissible to amend claims to include inventions covered by the original specification in the original patent, then it would difficult to support a legal conclusion of fraud, even if the jury purported to make a factual finding to that effect.
