Lastly, a preliminary hearing was held today, which was quite short... Both sides didn't even get a word in. As the judge took his seat and was introduced to the plaintiff, Apple Inc, and then the defendant, Apple Inc, he simple yelled out "ARE YOU F^#$ING SERIOUS?!?!?!?" and then walked out.
No way.. the judge would describe it as a complex case which raises serious issues.. and that in order to preserve the innovation that patents and copyright protections so obviously promote, it is imperative that after a lengthy legal battle, Apple be both heavily punished and richly rewarded.
