No wonder why the US Patent law favors Apple, if someone bribed me as much I would still go for them lol

Of course, Google spends 10x as much as Apple on lobbying...

It says something about Samsung's selling power when rivals, paid sites and lobbyist agencies such as the United States Patent and Trademark Office come after you. It says Samsung is doing it better than the rest, and the rest doesn't like it one bit.

Exactly, well said.
If you can make a super power billion dollar company scared and sueing the crap out of you, you're doing things right.

If Samsung was more innovative and not copy designs and ideas from other companies, then they wouldn't have to spend so much money lobbying.

If Apple wasnt patent trolling about shapes and colors, there wouldn't be any need for money lobbying.

So apple is spending double amount lobbying.. Do that mean they copy more? Yes may be coz you see many granted patents to Apple.. Patents for those tech that already exists..

funny how we read and talk about all the bribes the companies give but don't pay mind to the fact that our own government is accepting it.. worse yet the substituted the word bribe for lobbying to make us feel better about it.. corruption at it's finest.. and we just accept it.. :/ ..
