Plutocratic Courts

The Federal district courts and CAFC (Corrupt Appeals for Corporations) are destroying small businesses with their bias to the largest corporations. A small business client just called with another matter. In the previous patent matter, unrelated to the new one, the district court disallowed evidence that would have demonstrated invalidity - an unjustified, rank display of corruption. Judges use cunning to cripple a case without appearing too overtly to crush it. The CAFC appeal affirmation was a sham. Damages were minimal, but the injunction was crippling. In the new matter, the same message was given my client as in the last case - "we won't give you a license. Our goal is to drive you out of business." This is the power of patents, abetted by an economically ignorant, corrupt judiciary. It's bad, it's nationwide.
