Judge allows Apple and Samsung to add each other's newly made devices to be part of 2014 trial

The Samsung Galaxy Rugby Pro has been added to Apple's claim |
Although the trial isn't starting until a year from next March, the discovery process ends in July which means until then, we will probably see Apple add some new Samsung devices while Samsung might want to add any variation of the Apple iPhone that is released before then, like the low priced version of the phone that has been involved in on-again, off again rumors.
Fancy yourself an attorney? Know every line of LA Law by heart? Still have your poster of Susan Dey on the wall (post Partridge, of course). Then you might want to check out the actual court document below.

This is a routine discovery stipulation. If the patent is invalidated, Apple could add the entire catalog of Samsung phones that are powered by Android, and it wouldn't matter for sh*t.

Because if you try to sue for patent infringement on a patent you don't have, you'd look like an idiot as the judge swiftly kicks you and your time-wasting case out the door. If the patent(s) is(are) invalidated, that's precisely what would go down, although in a somewhat less entertaining manner than Judge Koh physically kicking Apple's attorneys.

Can anyone list exactly which patents are being argued in this case? Thanks.

Watch the Apple stocks nosedive further after S4 ... and then again after Note III.

Actually, watch Apple's share price drop 20% when their patent gets invalidated....

I think the real issue is that apple has fallen far behind and people are starting to realize this. The stock only started to drop after the iPhone 5 was released. If Apple really wanted to compete based on anything other than their brand and lawyers they would have redesigned iOS, released an iPhone with 4.8" 1080p display, NFC, micro USB and quad-core processing. But as long as people continue to buy their products religiously Apple doesn't need to do anything new.

Problem with increasing size is that either price goes up or Apple's margin comes down and both would mean doom for them. That's what has made them a miser when taking big jump on size is concerned. Last time they just stretched the length so on IP6 they may just increase the width .... incremental changes you see is their business policy :)

They could just make another iPhone and charge $299 on contract, i'm sure many Apple customers are more than willing to shell out an extra $100.

Haha silly Apple, so then does this mean that a Galaxy s3 with ice cream sandwich doesn't infringe patents? ?? If that's so then that's more along the Google lines not Samsung's

Oh my god the galaxy rugby pro looks exactly like a the new iPhone 5. God these lawsuits are so stupid and now that Apple stole 1 billion from Samsung there is no way either party will think logically and end the bulls**t. How pathetic...

I really hope you're being sarcastic. That phone looks nothing like the iPhone 5.

No faith in the US system when they can allow a ridiculous patent for a black rectangle with rounded corners to prevail, when the rest of the world thinks it is BS. Oh well, they gotta protect their own 'IP'.

Lucy Koh needs to be remove from this case, nether company should have been allowed to add any more devices. The patents Apple are suing over are just plain pointless. If she truly want to do what's right for the consumer, she need to try and end these case. Not let them add more devices to it.
