You are forgetting the biggest fact here. That PRIOR ART existed. That will all by itself invalidate this patent. The court has shown a willingness, if not a desire, to invalidate broad and over reaching patents such as this, when many examples of prior art existed.

Forget "Point of Sale" or sticking to the claims rather than the specification and example of the prefered embodiment. This patent dies or is dead on prior art. Did you read the Lexis Nexis example or examples from the other briefs. I bet their are many examples (evidence) of prior art prior to this patent being filed. If you can tell me how prior art won't invalidate this patent, then maybe there is some hope. But if you are betting on having the court define point of sale correctly or not limit the claims based on the prefered embodiment or specification, then I guess your just waiting for some suckers to bid this thing up on the temporary good news.

Prior art is the E-data killer. Please tell me what you have as a rebuttal to this argument. Thanks.
