jerrywhoo - Your thought process is logical. I hope you are correct in the end. There were the briefs, and the amicus curiae, which both could have made a definitive case in either Judge Hughes or Judge Reyna's minds.
jerryw@ It would be 'just a gift from heaven' if your right.
And given the mountains of evidence 'proving Nevada ruling wrong' - how can appeal court do other than 'correct this'.
Renome of US Legal Systems is stake here, very much also outside USA. ---------------------------------------------
What is easy forgotten is that - it is the small 'David' - against two giant 'Goliath' companies - that has built their entire business around 'stealing' products from developing companies like Amarin.
I am with you too. The attorneys on this board explained the process of appeal before - judges do convene before OA to exchange notes, and play the tactics that you described at the argument. So what you said is quite reasonable, and could be what had happened at the OA.
The only thing I wished is Singer handed some questions a little better. But he did a fine job today.
