After tentatively shutting down (and reviving) Apple and Motorola's legal spat, Judge Richard Posner has put the lid on the case once again, dismissing the case in its entirety this evening. Neither company was able to respond to the Judge's call for proof of damages, causing him to dismiss the case and block both firms from refiling claims. "It would be ridiculous to dismiss a suit for failure to prove damages and allow the plaintiff to refile the suit so that he could have a second chance to prove damages. This case is therefore dismissed with prejudice; a separate order to that effect is being entered today." Posner's prejudice dismissal means that Apple and Motorola will have to find something new to fight about -- the case's patent disputes are off the table, for good.
