Anyone here who has been on a jury...
...will be asking themselves how the cunting fuck did they deliberate on a reported 700 questions in 22 hours.
We had four questions and it took us over 15 hours.
You could cynically suspect that they were so bored with the whole thing, they decided to just wrap it up ASAP and favour the American company.
Also, it only takes one persuasive person on a jury to swing people to a way of thinking once they are in that room.
I imagine this will be appealed pretty hard.

isn't there some argument
for trials such as this to not be conducted by a jury of laymen for reasons very much like this.
A case solely about patents and IP could be heard by a jury of patent attorneys etc. The cost to be funded by the court until judgement at which point it would likely be a small drop in the ocean compared to the total legal bill at that point for most companies.

This. I was on jury duty regarding a complex fraud case. Suddenly everyone was a legal expert.
