One of the most outspoken judges in the craziness that is the US patent system made a bold move last tonight, throwing out a lawsuit in which Apple and Motorola were seeking injunctions against each other’s mobile products.
US District Court Judge Richard Posner previously canceled a jury trial in Chicago in the case, and then castigated both Apple and Motorola while calling the entire US patent system chaos. Posner issued a ruling late yesterday that shows he wasn’t just joking.
