Digital BW, The Print

Chris,

I can tell you that the biggest silver lining in something like this
is that finally a very clear guidebook has been written by a judicial
body that spells out perfectly in plain-English what is infringing and
what is not. No one wants to infringe. And I believe everyone thinks
patents should be protected. A lot of the carts which were denied by
the judicial body were truly believed by their manufacturers to be
non-infringing. And several almost made it. Now its finally possible
to design products which are certainly non-infringing.

regards,


Jon
