| HappySqurriel said: It doesn't matter whether the patent actually describes how the Cell processor is designed, all that matters is whether they can convince a 64 year old judge who can't turn on his computer that the Cell processor is similar enough to their patent to justify a trial; if they're successful with that they only have to convince the same judge that there should be an injunction on the production of cell processors and sale of PS3 systems until the end of the trial. If they accomplish that Sony will be forced to settle regardless of the cost associated with it. Having seen this time and time again, I would say there is a 50% probability that this will go to trial and a 50% probability that an injunction will be imposed. Patent trolls are so successful because the legal system is incapable of understanding the technology ... |
