Anyone have any real insight on what chance B&N has? Reading this they seem to be asking for 1 - the entire thing to be thrown out (including the patents) and failing this 2 - a trial by jury.

How likely is #1 (i can only assume _everyone_ asks for this..)? Are cases like this normally heard by a jury? Are B&N's claims actually solid? Is there any chance of other companies supporting B&N?

Everything about this reminds me of First they came... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came%E2%80%A6
