For the new trial, Judge Koh orders Samsung and Apple to narrow their claims
Just as she did last year before Apple and Samsung squared off in the first epic patent infringement trial, Judge Lucy Koh is ordering both sides to narrow the number of claims that both sides will present in the sequel, which is expected to start in March 2014. Judge Koh once again will be presiding over the trial. The first one resulted in a jury verdict in favor of Apple to the tune of $1.05 billion. Apple sought to have that amount increased, Samsung asked for a new trial, and both requests were denied. Samsung is still appealing the original jury decision.

Last year's Apple vs. Samsung patent trial was widely followed

Before the first trial and even during it, Judge Koh asked both sides to reduce the number of claims and even set a time limit on the testimony that each side could put on. The new trial is also about alleged patent infringement, but includes the latest and greatest devices from both sides including the Apple iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S III. The Judge is ordering both sides to limit their cases to 25 products and 25 claims

The second trial could be delayed until an appeals court rules on Apple appeal of Judge Koh's refusal to place sales bans on some of Samsung's products. The Judge feels that the Appeals Court ruling could suffice as a verdict on the second trial since it would cover issues that are included in the second case. Apple's attorney disagrees with Judge Koh while Samsung's attorney feels that she is right.

Apple has achieved absolutely nothing in this whole suing business!! Yeah thats a business for them, an alternate source of income, their non-core business.

Last year they had Galaxy s3 and Note 2 to deal with......this year they will have to handle HTC One, Xperia Z, Galaxy S4 and then Note 2 and 3.

So how do they plan to handle these? In courtroom? I would suggest that they concentrate on their core business, they are not doing that....they are now making pathetic revamps of once glorious phone!!

US will finally realise you can't have a protectionism in a capitalism nation. US is the most advance nation due to capitalism NOT protectionism.

Well, that explain why apple feels that its their god damn right to sue every body.

Let see how a great company/nation would continue to do well by sueing others.

I suspect that if the Court of Appeals rules against Apple (which is a 50-50 prospect; maybe even 60-40 against Apple), it is all over. No sales ban is a hint to which way the Court is leaning....

Less patents to bring up also, many were invalidated. Apple should just drop it and let it go, all the previous trial did was bring massive PR to Samsung and make more people despise Apple. The phones in question aren't even relevant anymore, and Apple doesn't need the money, they have more than enough.

Instead of a delay on the second trial why not just put a stop to this never ending court battle. This has seriously gone far enough...

The lawsuits are doing nothing but make Samsung more popular.. completely opposite of what apple wanted. I know people who bought gs3's just because of all this drama. Heard about the lawsuit and phone on CNN goggled it an go "oh wow screw the iphone"
