Another Judge Slaps Down Another Set Of Medtronic Patent Attorneys
from the uppity-judges dept
We noted recently that a judge was so fed up with a pair of well-known patent attorneys that he not only overturned the verdict, but he made the attorneys pay the opposing side's legal bills. Now, in a totally separate patent battle, yet another judge has done the same exact thing. And, in what may (or may not) be a coincidence, both sets of lawyers were representing Medtronic. In both cases, they ignored the earlier parameters set on how the patent claims could be portrayed in court. It's good to see judges pushing back, though it really does say something that patent attorneys felt they could get away with this.

Well... see, Patent attorneys don't bribe, er... contribute as well as RIAA does.
So you see RIAA will probably fair better than Medtronic.
