Judge Koh allows Apple v. Samsung II, the thriller with the manila folders
Share:
But the truth is, the main patent at issue in the new trial has nothing to do with the first one, which resulted in a $1.05 billion verdict handed to Apple by the jury. Judge Koh recently cut that award by $450 million and a new trial will be heard on the damages to be awarded on 14 Samsung devices that the jury said had infringed on Apple's patents. The featured patent in the new 2014 case is the infamous '604 patent aka the Siri patent which deals with universal search.
Now that the judge has ruled that the new trial can continue, it is expected to start in March 2014. In ruling that the trial can start before Samsung is finished appealing the first case, Judge Koh made Apple the victor as it was Samsung that wanted to delay this trial while appealing the first decision. Last month, the judge seemed to be leaning Samsung's way.

Probably no one. Don't think anyother oem would display the kind of resilience as samsung did.

When both companies find out they are at the bottom of the smartphone race with Motorola, Nokia, LG, HTC, Sony, Huawei, ZTE and others, because both of them spent gobs of their cash reserve on litigation instead of Research and Development...

You can't write a single comment without mentioning your confuse love of Samsung.
I know you're one of the biggest Samsung fanboy but this is obssession, dude. You should see a psychologist, seriously.

This is why Software patents should be abolished and invalidated.

Then you will see significantly reduced technological innovation. Imagine Android stuck in Gingerbread.
14. Taters posted on 09 Mar 2013, 01:35 3 1
I am sure software innovation would thrive without really lame patents.

No, abolished. Like they were originally. Software is copyright protected, the coding is protected, but a concept should not be.
If we had had this madness 40 years ago, the first person to invent an operating system for a pc would have been the only one. The first word processor. The first spreadsheet program. All would have been trapped, innovation stopped, because a patent on the concept had been allowed.

Yay! Others will capitalize while these bitches fight

There is some merit to your point. I haven't seen much litigation against other manufacturers while Apple and Sammy are dancing their dance. There has been some sniping around the edges, but the principle action is Apple vs. Sammy.

Just because we haven't seen it, doesn't mean there are no battles going on. BB and Nokia, Apple and Nokia have solved their disputes by paying Nokia the royalties. It could be the same between few others.

There have been reports of Samsung "borrowing" Nokia screen technology, most companies don't trust Samsung these days for good reason. Apple is in the best position to threaten Samsung so they do. (Had Nokia been market-leader, they would probably be suing Samsung aswel.
You don't become top dog of the industry in such a short amount of time by playing fair.

it depends on your definition of fair, and what counts as 'blatent copying"

This stuff is so ridiculous, oh god - don't they have better stuff to do? Like - save the planet?

the stupid thing is that they allow patents like this : "very common thing in technology or life + in a mobile device"
