Yay! A jury acted intelligently!

Woohoo! The obviously-just outcome was reached in an unjust accusation!

Does it really have to be like this? How can we as a nation justify a system that forces entities that are obviously not in the wrong to spend a large sum of money in order to defend themselves from freeloaders who clearly are in the wrong? And even after spending all that money, we are elated when the correct individuals manage to win.

Why can't the patent office (if we must have one) actually employ field experts? Patent infringement cases would be submitted to the appropriate department, and the accused would submit evidence supporting their case. The case should have to go to court only in the case that the accused loses such an accusation and decides to appeal.
