"Obviously the judge and the court clerks could not trade on knowledge of the Markman Hearing results, or even the technician entering the data onto the Pacer system."

Brings to mind ratings agencies, such as Moodys', Standard and Poors...etc, when they inject their unbiased commentary to the public regarding their in-depth analysis of an entity and its stability...do insiders trade on that knowing how news reflects their opinions?

Creditability and ethics are nothing but a mirage at all levels of so called regulated commerce.
