Mark, most people can't even read a map! They let OJ off murdering a couple of people when stacks of evidence was there. In the absence of any understanding of the IPR and legal domains, the jury will tend to act like a random number generator but with a slight bias in one direction based on whether a lawyer is good looking or they think it isn't fair for Microsoft to make a lot of money and it would be lovely if everyone could just share all these great inventions for the good of mankind in God's name. If the judge doesn't boot it out [which seems unlikely unless it is totally egregious because it is so important] and it's true that some jury of Texans is going to decide who invented concatenated Reed-Solomon convoluted turbo coding with power control in reverse link Fourier wave functions excluding OMC-CDMA rake receivers we are likely to get anything by way of a decision. Ericy is on a can't lose case here. They start with nothing, so depending on how ignorant the jury is [which is bound to be almost totally], they might win anything up to the whole case. It seems very strange to let a jury decide such matters. This is not good. I suppose a bunch of Texans will think of Qualcomm as being AMERICAN and Ericy as one of those commie pinko job stealers from somewhere else in the world, so there is hope. I'd feel sorry for Ericy if the jury is a bunch of rabid flag waving patriots. Even if there are some Ericy production places in Texas. JGoren, what's your view of it all? Is it REALLY a jury? Do they decide anything of substance or just basic facts which anyone could see. It's pretty scary when you think that without the IPR, Q! is just one of the bunch with a head start, limited profit, small revenue and a tiny market share, in the total wireless world. Mqurice
