Unless Judge Luckern had a virtually outstanding grasp of current wireless technology, how would he be able to discern whether or not there was patent infringement simply from testimony? Wouldn’t he have to have what amounts to an expert (s) critique it from a reverse engineering aspect to truly comprehend and verify what is being used to do what? In other words, testimony is fine and serves a purpose, but to truly identify and verify if infringement is taking place, I would think objective outside counsel (i.e. engineers) should be sought to validate that testimony from both sides. Correct? For that matter, how would appeals judges be able to rule on something this technical without obtaining Markman type of expertise to guide them? Your thoughts are appreciated.

Thanks for what you have contributed throughout this saga.
