Jury seated in Apple-Samsung trial

Judge Lucy Koh |
Last year, Apple started the legal action with a suit against Samsung for violating certain of Apple's patents including the infamous data-tapping patent that converts embedded phone numbers and URLs into links for users to click on. Currently, there is a preliminary injunction against the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 and the Samsung GALAXY Nexus although that one has been stayed by a Federal Appeals Court. As we told you on Monday, the Appeals Court has extended that stay, alowing the phone to be sold during the trial. An attempt by Apple to get a preliminary injunction against the Samsung Galaxy S III has failed.

"including the infamous data-tapping patent that converts embedded phone numbers and URLs into links for users to click on"
I did not know Apple think they invented hyperlinks.

Just because Apple is granted a patent, doesn't mean the patent is valid. One of Sammy's objectives in this trial is to invalidate the Apple patents at issue. Once Sammy is able to establish invalidity of the patents, they will be in position to negotiate a cross-licensing deal with Apple as the patents Sammy is asserting have withstood challenges. Even Apple acknowledges the validity of Sammy's patents, they just want to minimize the value (1/2 of 1 cent for each device) of the patents.

Well that seems fair. Samsung patents only cover trivial nonsense, like how the phones communicate with the towers, etc...Nothing really integral like the rectangular shape, or the grid of icons, or the purloined swipe to unlock gesture.

Apple will give each jury a free iPhone and iPad and Samsung will loss the case very quickly.

Are you saying that Apple is going have to bribe the jury with free gifts, because their case has no logic behind it. Thus, give gifts, is the only way they can try to win?

It will be impossible for this to be a fair trial. You need a jury that knows a lot about cellphone technology, but doesn't prefer one OS to the other. Which is almost impossible to find. They should really revise how they conduct these trials.

goes to show you how serious this case is being taken....the case will be judged fairly but not by your standards or anyone elses standards but by what is right and just for the mobile world....

Totally disagree. You don't have to be a cellphone geek to be able to comprehend evidence. Just like you don't have to be a criminal justice major to be on a jury for a murder trial.

What if all they know about 3G is what they heard from carriers?

Apple's worst nightmare would be 12 people with common sense seated in the jury box.

Ha 12 people with common sense would be game over for Samsung.

I don't know. Is Ted spinning Samsungs loss?

12 people with common sense would not only file in Samsung's favor, but would invalidate half of Apple's patents.

I always prefer PA to Engadget.
- Quick updated news.
- Less brainless comments from brainless fanboys.

Actually, she is more on Apples side. We've seen this clearly in previous cases.

Lol hyperlink? They really think they invented hyperlinking? Apples really gone overboard with this one...but if they were issued a patent I guess they can try to follow through, even tho it can be invalidated easily. They should really be looking at smart phones as computers now since android is basically Linux and if I'm not mistaken iOS was built off it as well.
