Hi J Krnjeu; Re: "So why do IP cases have a special appeals court?" I should remind you of what you wrote:

"That is why the appeals court in an IP case is a special one where they use industry accepted terms to mean just that, not ones made up to suit a judge." #reply-16865357

I suppose you think that appeals courts are where murders are let free and criminals released from their obligations.

No, the reason that they use special appeals cases for patents is not so POS companies can make up patents and use them to collect royalties, it's that patent law is specialized. Part of that specialization is the fact that terms in a patent are not interpreted in their "industry accepted" meaning, but instead are interpreted by lawyers and judges.

The legal profession is not designed to make things easy to understand. Why do you think that patent language is so hard to read?
