The verdict was a farce.
According to their own statements, the jury basically let one guy make the decision and that guy is a patent owner, so his motives for establishing precedence are definitely suspect. All the jury was interested in was getting out of there on time. The judge should throw it out. Hopefully it will get overturned in the appeal.
Besides that I have yet to see one single person that thinks this ruling was a good thing. One would think that if the jury was a cross section society like they're supposed to be, they would have the same opinions. I smell not just fish, but a whole fish market. Our American IP laws are ruining innovation across the entire world.
