      Well it doesn't really matter because it's a well known fact that German judges make their decisions by drinking a few liters of beer and then flipping a coin.
      I mean, it's not like anyone who actually considered the evidence and listened to the arguments would find for Apple.

      The judge probably had the decision written on an iPad.

      "I find in favor of Sam^H^H^H...what...uh...oh, here it is: Apple! I could have sworn I wrote something different, earlier."
