Hmmf patents again.  I can understand original work,
but not just the natural path of technology and going
about things.

This is one of those look and feel cases that drags on forever. Apple did the same to M$ over 10 yrs back. I think they reached an out of court settlement, many years later with Billy giving Steve some $150M and assurances that future M$ Office would be available on the Mac.

Will Contois be able to speed it up,  does a  the trial by jury help with this ?

Cos i dont think Contois will be able to afford legal expenses after a bit.

This case won't affect anyone else, until Apple is found guilty of said charge, it might a long while till that happens, if at all.
