Google argues like the trolls...

[Alan Baker]

'"Moreover, Google's contention that the patents are not 'inventive'
and are easily designed around, even if true, actually shows the lack
of impact on the public interest – once Samsung designs around the
patents, then its products will no longer be subject to exclusion."

Mueller cited a recent ruling by Chief Judge Rader, who wrote, "If
indeed [the defendant in that case] had a non-infringing alternative
which it could easily deliver to the market, then the balance of
hardships would suggest that [it] should halt infringement and pursue
a lawful course of market conduct."'

And this part is even better:

'Google displays egregious hypocrisy in arguing both sides of patent
cases

Google's arguments against the enforcement of Apple's patents are not
just flawed, but grossly hypocritical. When arguing on behalf of its
subsidiary Motorola, Google's attorneys argue the exact opposite
position.

As early noted, again by Mueller, Google not only argues both sides of
the law with regard to Android, but even filed contradictory policy
statements on intellectual property and the role of the proper role of
the ITC on the same day.

"This may have been the first time in the history of United States
International Trade Commission that the same party, on the same day,
submitted an anti-IP/weak-ITC policy statement and a pro-IP/strong-ITC
one," Mueller observed.'

And from that source:

'The most striking contradictions are that Google describes an import
ban as an "extraordinary remedy" in one case and refers to the
"ordinary presumption in favor of issuance of an exclusion order" in
the other (emphasis mine in both quotes), and that Google wants the
ITC to apply the eBay injunction factors in one case (even adding a
causal nexus requirement to eBay) and to ignore them completely in the
other. '

They're both fun to read as examples of troll hypocrisy in action.
