One trial, without having heard its appeal, I doubt that we have heard the last even on DDR both in US courts and in European courts. The European and Japanese do not care about "who invented first", their law is quite simple, the first to file, gets it. So, even if you assume there might have been "fraud" involved in patenting in the US (which I for one am not yet convinced one way or another until I hear the appeal), in those jurisdiction where the "first to file" control, RMBS has a pretty good chance as we have seen so far in Italy. As for adoption, I'll let the market decide, and watch the stock's technical action to try and get advance notice of the verdict. You have cited quite correctly "all the reasons why not". I too often witnessed the greatest experts telling me why it cannot be done, in too many fields, and then simply meeting someone too stupid to know it cannot be done, and doing it. An example from recent memory, Venter. Zeev
