Whether rightly or wrongly, the judge effectively ruled that either:

1. e.Digital owns a utility patent (‘774) for a device that does not even work in a practical sense since it may not use RAM for data processing.

or

2. e.Digital (Norris) should never have been granted this patent in the first place since prior art (Schroder patent) invalidates it.

This is what DM must overcome if they can.
