It’s been over a year since this case was announced. The first ruling came down late last week. It is from the hearing that (I think) helps determine definitions of terms and how to instruct the jury for future hearings.

I’m not a lawyer and I don’t play one on TV..but the response from the D2L Paten Blog was positive and I just wanted to pass along the information to anybody who is interested in keeping up with the proceedings.
