Don't read too much into the word "Final".

You're talking about the way Apple will handle it, as opposed
to how it's going to turn out in court.

How it's going to turn out: I don't know. Let's hide and
watch.

And if wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

Apple is cooked on this one. Couldn't come soon enough. Maybe, eventually,
they'll figure they need to get back to innovating and forget about litigating.

Apple really is starting to fall behind and I think an awful lot of it has to do
with the paralysis of trying to defend their patents that had boatloads of prior
art and should have never been issued in the first place.

You can't assume that. The rejection of claim 19 can still be overcome by argument. Additionally, or alternatively, it might be amended slightly, in away that gets around the cited art but has no bearing on the infringement.

For the rejection of claim 19 to be overcome, would not that necessitate that the trial be postponed until such time as the patent office reverses themselves?

Keep in mind that Apple seems to want to push the trial through as soon as possible. Or will we see them change their tactics and start stalling everything?

If Apple does stall, won't Samsung want to go ahead with the remaining issues once the Court of Appeals issues their ruling?

OMG, the Applophants need to step back. This is a final decision, which means it
stands until or unless it is changed. That means, as of the day of the
publication, any "maybes" about a reversal are just that, maybes.
Courts can't award bezillions based on maybes, it has to work on what is the
current state of the claim.
