>>56875346Once again, not how Japan's patent system work. If something has been used forever but no one patented it, the patent is still valid. First to file, not first to invent.
Also once again, Japanese judges don't work around proofs and evidences, they work around which decision would spare the most shame on the country/authority/etc. A lot of them have publicly admitted having no problem sending absolute innocents to jail because not doing that would bring shame on the cops who did the investigation. Take a wild guess which side this mindset will favorite between one of the most loved & powerful jap company and some random fucko who allied with the americans at Sony.
