Bouf, lesson learned, experience can be cruel teacher. That said, I believe most observers viewed the ducision as unexpected. The Rule 36 decision handed down in the appeal perhaps even more surprising, given the lack of explanation in a case that many observers viewed as having legal precedence. If you recall, the stock dropped hard immediately upon the naming of the jury panel... prior to the oral arguments. That confirms to me the system is influenced more by political bias than by knowledge and understanding of scientific facts. I honestly did not believe the court system could be so tainted, so not stone crazy, perhaps naive.

Even pragmatism, as argued by Singer referring to the the development of Lovaza, fell upon the deaf ear of a court more than willing to accept the convoluted obvious decree of a judge not trained in the sciences. The patent risk equals political risk, in retrospect.
