Your talking about trading on a short term victory that is leading to a long term loss. Think about how much prior art existed in 1982 or earlier that would kill this patent. For the claims to be given the broad definitions and interpretation plaintiffs are asking, they would cover plenty of prior art, which in turn would make this patent invalid. So even if you win short term, you will lose at the next level without a doubt. Defendants, without digging to far, came up with a great and factual prior art example in Lexis-Nexis.

Anyone who has used the service knows that it falls directly under the E-data interpretation of the patent. Problem for E-data is that Lexis-Nexis and it's service existed and performed this function two years before the patent. That would kill all claims based on printed materials, if not the delivery via a computer by modem and data capture on disk or print (which in 1982, Lexis allowed you to do either). You do not need a written brief or case study to figure this out. Just call Lexis and ask them what year they started to deliver the current on-line service. This is a patent killer, plain and simple. This patent is a turkey and the best that can happen is a short term victory on overturning Jones opinion.
