As a legal matter it’s not possible in my opinion to square what happened to Vringo with the fact that juries are supposed to be extant in patent infringement cases. Further, if ever there was a case where, procedurally and factually and legally, “obviousness” was NOT proven or even alleged, this was the case.

I really think that the Supreme Court will someday take the positions advocated by IP Engine here---it almost has to---but that will be too late for Vringo. Google, that poor, abused, bullied victim, was handed an undeserved gift here. Our Supreme Court, protector of the small, downtrodden, oppressed, constitutionally disenfranchised, saved Google from a huge, powerful bully named “IP Engine”.

Tell me, in the near future in the US what small company will ever be willing and able to tackle a jury trial against a mega-billion dollar corporate thief like Google, no matter how obvious and blatant the theft? It's just not in the cards. I can see why people would be very cynical about our legal system today.
