There's a Verdict in Apple v. Samsung (Groklaw)

In fact, if this article is correct (http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2012/08/apple-v-samsun...), he was instructing other jurors about the patent system, using his own experience. This, according to at least one other juror, made it "easier" to decide.

BTW, the jury foreman holds a patent on a DVR, filed in 2002 (Tivo was shown at CES in 1999). No, really, it is actually a patent on a DVR!

I'm really not surprised that the patent system is a complete mess when generic and obvious stuff like that can be patented after working machines are being offered for sale. And I'm also not surprised he convinced other jurors that Apple's patents are oh so precious.
