You would be amazed by the number of times where there is prior art and still you will not get patent invalidated because of what I mentioned previously, peculiar wording. Its all about wording, and not « common sense » at all. Getting something out of inter partes review is hopeless. And ultimately, in the US its jury trial and quite often in Marshall, Texas - good luck there :) LMS 8.2 on Odroid-C4 - *SqueezeAMP!*, 5xRadio, 5xBoom, 2xDuet, 1xTouch, 1xSB3.
