As you can see here, the Jury (of peers, more or less) was /is primarily a safeguard, which dates back to English Law, and our Constitution. However , when peers are little more than those who just fell off the turnip truck, (and are given the task to void and/ or destroy valid patents, with their ignorance ).....the system seems very flawed... legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com Viewing the jury as central to the rights of the new nation, the Founders firmly established its role in the U.S. Constitution. They saw the jury as not only a benefit to the accused, but also as a check on the judiciary, much as Congress exists as a check on the Executive Branch.

Amen M, WILN MUST appeal this preposterous OJ jury verdict. If the American justice system boils down to misdirection and summer theatre as the predeterminants for a positive outcome, well, say goodbye to anyone ever innovating on American soil again. As for the president (yes, small p in this case), this is the wages of politicians entering publicly into the patent arena with his ill-conceived 'troll' remarks - like the stem cell fiasco, scientists run the other way. We call this 'suck & blow': scream when the Chinese rip off Ford and Apple IP, but look the other way when a foundational Wi-Fi patent - universally adopted and globally licensed - might cost vested interest a few shekels for sustained, wilfull infringement. Did I say I was livid?
