Judge denies Apple request to punish Samsung for leaking evidence; warns against more "theatrics"
0. phoneArena posted on 03 Aug 2012, 18:30
Friday it was both Apple and Samsung's turn to together feel the wrath of Judge Lucy Koh as the judge first denied Apple's request to sanction Samsung for sending previously excluded evidence to the media; the judge then told both parties that she would not put up with any more "theatrics or sideshows"...

@taco When we first started hearing about Koh a few months back, there were generally positive feelings towards her universally for being aseeimingly fair and not prone to taking for overpaid lawyers' running a b.s. campaign for their corporate overlords. There was even some half-hearted joking that she and the male judge (northern Midwest it east coast I don't recall) made fair enough rulings and cut through the b.s. that they should be candidates for the U.S. Supreme Court. Then Kih started going injunction crazy with the Galaxy Tabs, Nexus, and HTC OneX, and seemed to be under apple's influence, thus incurring disfavor. I'm hoping that was a ruse to put Apple off-guard and that the jury and herself will lay the smackdown on apple.and their childish lawsuit-happy attitudes

Or maybe Apple proved that Samsung is copying and that's why they won all those injuctions.

They can't prove anything until the trial. Unfortunately, Samsung aren't being allowed to defend themselves with evidence that not only they, but Sony were working on devices that were rounded corner rectangles prior to the iPhone, and that in fact Apple may have gotten some of their design ideas from Sony.
Regardless how this case turns out, it will continue for years in appeals.

Koh wants to go to the Supreme Court and a favorable ruling in favor of a supposed AMERICAN company would make her look favorable in the eyes of D.C.

Why? Did the judge just recently upgrade to the SGSIII? I'll bet that was it.

Reason why the judge can't punish Samsung and Apple is a preposterous bitch for asking;
"John Quinn has filed such a brief yesterday, arguing that the evidence released to the press is "ethical" and "legal", and not meant to sway the jury in any way. He is citing the public nature of the case and the 1st Amendment"

I think they will make a movie out of this, this will probably go down in history in some respect.

Even with this decision, I do not trust this judge - especially with her actions from the start - I will be shocked if Samsung wins this case or even receives a minor penalty....

Nowadays,
1) Devil is dictating Ethics...
2) Terrorists teaching about humanity...
3) Politicians boasting about public welfare...
4) APPLE says its NOT keen in making money...
5) Judge Koh talks about impartiality...
I don't know where this world is moving to...

I think she did this to save face and not arrouse more suspicions that she favors Apple. If they won this case this easily then everyone will wonder how it was posibile, considering it's a really important and industry changer case. She can use this to defend herself by saying "Well, I did "help" Samsung when blabblalba", after she gives Apple the win.
Its just a charade to make people believe she's not bias.

I'm never bias of any OS
But as a wp fanboy with a Android phone and a Samsung Windows phone and also getting a Samsung Windows phone 8 device. Apple is getting very disappointing by the minute. the update they IOS 6 was minor it's disgusting. compared to Wp8 and Android 4.1 they were HUGE!. they shouldn't even be cruel to poor Samsung. I believe in Samsung. they are a great and positive company. they don't keep suing people unlike apple. Apple's days are over they are scared because Samsung took over apple as the new iPhone. it's Samsung's world now. with Android on it's left and Wp on it's right side of the throne. if the next iphone is the same with everything except processor and new port then they are doomed. or either they ran out of ideas. I really hope that Wp and Android have a long time to come for them. Gud Luck! Android and Wp!. you two are like twins in specs and alot of stuff :D
PLEASE don't be negative to me Android fanboys. we Wp fanboys also hate Apple as well. because they made my first gen Ipad obsolete with no updates.

As I said on another thread - if they'd spend half the money they're spending on BS lawsuits on development, we'd have fabulous battery life.

One of my freind told me that "Apple devices are so IDIOT-Proof"
Hmmm ... perhaps that's why i dont buy Apple stuff as I am not an idiot and i never will buy one. Just bought a Sony Xperia P for son recently on bis B'day and i find it a decent device. I just go by what suits me and not what my neighbour is buying ... afterall it's a device and not some jewelry to be worn for showing off :)
