This is getting ridiculous.

| Quote: Imagine the longest, most complex government form you’ve ever had to fill out and you start to have an idea what jurors will face as they begin to consider their verdict in the patent infringement case between Apple and Samsung. The verdict form, a tentative version of which was filed to the San Jose District Court on Monday, runs to 22 pages and has 36 main questions. But the devil is in the details: Because there are so many patents, products and company subsidiaries involved, there are more than 700 individual questions to consider. | |

Effectively, the jury can’t just answer with a simple “yes” or “no” (though I’ve never expected it to be that straight forward) - it has to consider each bit of Samsung, each product and how much each would attract in damages. So a massive form has to be completed. No doubt the legal teams of both will pick through them and appeal.
Here’s a draft of the form:
