@NoFlexZone Great question. It raises a lot of important issues, including:
1. Should judges be IP specialists?
2. Who gets to be an "IP specialist," anyway?
3. Would a judge who passed the patent bar have been better equipped to decide this case?
I think others might be interested in these issues, too, so I'm going to boost and make this a thread.
I recently published a piece on PragerU, an unaccredited school registered as a nonprofit, which is behind controversial right-wing propaganda videos recently approved for Florida schools.
I looked at hundreds of 990s to identify the largest recent funders of PragerU and how they are spending their money (Facebook, Google)
The Oklahoma Dept of Education just announced a partnership with PragerU - they are spreading.
