Panelists included Kevin Du, Professor at the College of Engineering and Computer Science, Bill Snyder, Visiting Assistant Professor at the College of Law and editor of this blog, and Yang Wang, Assistant Professor at the iSchool.  Each provided a different perspective, with Du explaining the technology involved and Snyder summarizing the litigation and explaining the legal issues.
