Should we consider this a ray of hope or an exception? Also, as per the article, the case concluded last week. I am surprised that other tech media did not cover this given the buzz around patent trolls these days.

Seems to be neither:

Indeed, the written description of the patents in question expressly refuted the claim construction of the patentee-plaintiff. As a result, the district court properly found that EonNet pursued objectively baseless infringement claims.

If this set a precedent it wouldn't be against vague patents, or against suing implementations of the obvious, etc.

It sounds potentially about as true of Lodsys' claims as this patent troll's.

Nah - this is a ray of hope! Like the old days when they would take Pirates and hang them at the ports 'Pirates beware'! Hopefully it:

1) Brings light to the situation

2) Discourages this behavior from others in the future

I guess we shall see :)
