Fraud????? No lie?

Nice pun...<g>

I am going to have to get a hold of that case and take a close look at it....there is a legal doctrine called "fraud on the patent office" which is quite a bit different than fraud in the usual sense...I wonder if that is what the decision said....I dunno, I haven't seen or read about it yet....

As for being "guilty" of fraud, in a civil case the standards for proving fraud are easier to meet, and you just have to pay damages (or get precluded from enforcing contracts and the like)....isn't like criminal fraud, where you can do time......

Does anybody have a link to the court decisions or know what court and date are involved? TIA
