How many CAFC people have you talked to?
Hey Chris,
To be more blunt, does he even know what the CAFC is? A sentence you
snipped from his post ("Supposedly expert witnesses tell them these
things, but they have no way of knowing if an expert witness is expert,
or if the expert witness is telling the truth.") suggests rather
strongly that he doesn't.
CAFC is the court of appeals for the federal circuit - whose expertise
is entirely in matters of law, not the matters that the expert witnesses
are supposedly experts in. The BPAI is the board of appeals and
interferences.
If these guys could tell shit from beans, why does the one click patent
stand despite prior art?
Presumably an "expert" testified that everything before the one click
patent was not the same thing as the one click patent but everything
after the one click patent was the same thing - and they believed him.
