The WSJ reports :
The agency declared invalid the integrality of Apple ’s patent of invention on Wednesday , according to a document cut by the letters patent federal agency that was filed by Samsung in Union court in San Jose , Calif. The document lists portions of the letters patent that were struck down on reexamination , on the foundation that anterior patent covered the same inventions .
Samsung , who ’s on the hook for a billion dollar , is desire this document can lead to a new trial . Apple , which has other patentstentatively nullified , will probably have to convince the USPTO on its letters patent ’s merit . There ’s still many steps to go before the patent becomes fully invalidated but it ai n’t a full first stair for Apple . Also , how screwed up is the patent arrangement if so many patent can be awarded yet nullify upon “ further follow-up ” ? [ WSJ ]
