I think it's worth noting that as a nation we have chosen to be "biased" in favor of patents. A patent is presumptively valid. To find a patent invalid a jury's standard is "clear and convincing evidence." By contrast the standard for infringement is "a preponderance of the evidence."

"Not just "likely"; anyone who had such experience would get kicked off the jury."

I was disqualified from the jury on a drunk driving trial, because the defense was based in some way on the Breathalyzer and its design or calibration, and I have a BSCS.

And yet if someone is "biased" against murder, they will let you be a witness in a murder trial. Love the legal system.
