crtdude, I think the CAFC decision re: VRNG was from somewhere out of left field. It really is incomprehensible how Mayer and Wallach came to the conclusion they did, but the takeaway is something I have been preaching for a long, long time.
And that is that the CAFC are demi-gods who have shown a predisposition to reinterpret patent law on the fly and have the power to do just about anything they want. If the DSS vs FB and related cases were in EDTX or some other "more favorable" forum, perhaps I would not even think of worrying about the CAFC decision in I/P Engine vs. Google. But this case is in Judge Susan Illston's NoCal courtroom. So who knows?
On the plus side, DSS is years away from having to have the CAFC decide its fate... assuming this case goes the distance. Perhaps they might settle long before it gets that far and all of this legal hocus pocus regarding 101, obviousness, and everything else becomes moot.
