There seems to be;
A little confusion by some,as to what the Federal Circuit,
Actually said on the subject of Validity..
"The Federal Circuit has held that the presumption of validity
is properly realized by a clear and convincing standard"
As I read this,I take it as written.
What Microsoft is alleging, IMO is that the USPTO enjoys
a presumption of RECTITUDE,which is NOT deserving,and
Thereby presents a virtually insurmountable/unassailable
obstacle to a "FAIR FIGHT".!!
So what they are asking for,is that the USPTO be required
to WEAR a PATCH over one eye,,And any other limitations,
which would,,"LEVEL",the playing field..!!..Allowing Microsoft
to win by default,,In all patent contests..
While assiduously protecting their own patents..
---Money is, POWER, is Money...
