But, as objective as I'm trying to be, it does sound like Posner is on the level regarding patent reform (like how he got on Motorola's case for trying to claim infringement on a FRAND patent).

This whole case would be insignificant if it was some lesser judge, but the fact that he's basically one of the most influential judges ever (regardless of some of his very controversial positions) gives me hope that the bullshit patent system can actually be reformed from the ground up.
