Uh.  Probably something that needs to be done; possibly true that folks 
forget.

Relevant to the current case?  Doubtful.  It's the eastern district of 
Texas.  You could patent ice cream there.  Or bread.  When judges in 
appeals circuits start making jokes from the bench (they have), 
credibility of such cases, regardless of merits, drops to nil.
