I found this at https://plus.google.com/111030861447662731288/posts/9xPKsM9P.... As I said there, I find it unlikely that we'll get a sane ruling from this court. The best hope is that the case will go to the Supreme Court who will get yet another opportunity to overrule the patent court.

Not to sound cynical but the patent court has consistently found ways to narrow even Supreme Court rulings to the point where even the spirit of a ruling is circumvented in entirety. Only a wholesale restructuring of the patent court and the dispersal of domain concentration will un@#$% the situation.
