Apple you can win a lawsuit and make billion in your own country but please remind yourself don't even think about Sue-ing Samsung in the Asian region you are digging your own grave. True Justice comes within the heart of Asia.

Except it wasn't a fair trial. Samsung had too much of a home field advantage since Japan is fairly close to Samsung's home turf.

48. Savage posted on 31 Aug 2012, 11:37 8 0

So by the same rationale , Apple had the home advantage in US.

Try to get around that one!

49. Jobes posted on 31 Aug 2012, 11:47 2 1

So by his own logic.... The trial here in America was unfair as well considering Apples advantage.. hmm *rubs chin* yeah you put yourself in a corner with that one Mxyzptlk, just sayin ;)

That's like saying that an Israeli company has an unfair trial advantage in Iran.

Korea and Japan don't exactly have the best history of relations.

f**king racist.

You really can't accept the idea that Apple couldn't prove that a) Samsung infringed on the patent or b) the patent was valid to begin with?

You honestly can't fathom any reason why the Japanese court made its decision other than "They're Azn too, lolzbbq."

And you pretend to be intelligent. What a joke you are.

They did prove it. They can only do so much with a biased foreign court. You can't fanthom my comment to be anything but racist because you don't want to admit that Samsung is wrong here.

I don't have to pretend sniggly. Can't speak for you I'm afraid.

You still haven't offered any proof that Samsung only won because the case was in an Azn court. A priori is not a valid argument. If Apple lost the case, it's because they couldn't prove infringement on the patent they sued Samsung over, or that the patent was valid. One or the other, possibly both.

I mean, if you're going to continue with this idiotic argument, you now have to admit that Apple won the US case because it was on home turf vs. Korea. Oh, you won't? That's okay, I knew you were a hypocrite anyway.

Apple is the biggest thieve and used the US court to rob people money.

6. XiphiasGladius posted on 31 Aug 2012, 01:43 16 0

Probably because the Judge doesn't think that it was "Apple since day one".

13. frydaexiii posted on 31 Aug 2012, 02:08 10 0

It's not "Finally a judge without a head up her/his ass.", it's "Cool, seem like the American judge is the only one with a head up her ass."

39. kingpet13 posted on 31 Aug 2012, 07:39 4 0

It must be apple, because they are suing chickens because of their patent for "a round white object." Apparently their were no round white objects before apple. So either they were first or eggs used to be green. According to Tim Cook at least.

41. remixfa posted on 31 Aug 2012, 07:44 4 0

which begs the question of which came first? the patent or the egg?

Do you have prior art to validate? lol

51. Jobes posted on 31 Aug 2012, 11:51 1 0

Well if the egg came first and there was prior art Apple would just sue and collect 3 bil in damages..

Yeah, but they still have some weird s**t going on over there.

Though I guess the US matches them blow for blow with People of Walmart.

It was apparently the best that Apple could bring against Samsung when they filed the lawsuit.

With what happened to Samsung in Cali, I'm going to take what victories I can get.

34. remixfa posted on 31 Aug 2012, 06:12 4 0

out of all their lawsuits apple won.. what... a design infringement in Germany and Australia which was quickly tossed when they adjusted the design of the Tab... and the ruling in America... which wont stand long either. They got some products banned in S. Korea, but they also got themselves 100% banned in korea in the process. Out of how many dozens of lawsuits against samsung in the world?

Not the best track record.

So what you're saying is for actual technology, it's Samsung. For shapes and colors, it's Apple.

33. remixfa posted on 31 Aug 2012, 06:09 2 0

if you ask an inutter, shapes and colors are way more important than techonology

24. ogy_dogy posted on 31 Aug 2012, 04:01 8 0

Why do you think that apples victory has any impact on the rest of the world?? I see no effects of it here in europe, mainly becouse here you cant patetnt a box with rounded corners. So id compare the apple victory to a 3rd regional league victory that only the villiage it was played in gave a damn...

25. xtian1103 posted on 31 Aug 2012, 04:08 0 4

that village must be so rich to award a billion $ price to apple.

they appealed it. i dont know if they got that over turned or delayed, but they havent posted it on their web page yet.

Except trials presided by Judge Koh in which she doesnt allow Samsung to present key evidence or witnesses. They beat Apple in every other US Court. See Judge Posner.
