Please let this case turn into a hideous disaster, so that the patent system is revealed to the public at large as the hideous disaster it is. Many a small company's dreams have been quietly smothered by this patent system; the public only starts to care if something nasty happens to a big corporation.
It needs to go the other way for the public to get it. A grand unveiling of a gee-whiz apple project that everyone obsesses about having, only to be denied because of a frivolous patent.
