Kodak won a patent infringement suit against Sun Microsystems over an aspect of the Java programming language.
The "patented" aspect was one program asking for help from another program and was originally patented by Wang
Laboratories in late 1997. This was a jury trial. Clearly Not a fully informed jury.
