Samsung wants Apple's Jonathan Ive to testify in court, and the iPhone 4S source code, too
Share:
- "Mr. Satzger is a former Apple employee represented by separate counsel. He is unable to sit for deposition before November 1 because, during the month of October, his lawyer has a full deposition schedule in a separate class action matter.
- Mr. Nishibori is unable to sit for deposition before November 1 because he currently is on a voluntary leave of absence from Apple.
- Mr. Ive is unable to sit for deposition before November 1 for personal reasons.
- Mr. Stringer is unable to sit for deposition before November 1 because of work and scheduling conflicts."

Looks like Steve Jobs' paroxysmal response to the success of Android is getting pretty serious.

Patent litigation can take on a life of its own. There is a reason for the saying that the people who truly win in litigation are the attorneys.... I said it before, and I will say it again - Steve was the driving force behind Apple's litigiousness. Now that he is not on the scene, cooler heads can determine the best course and get to a global settlement. There will probably be another few rounds of claims and counter claims, but within a couple of years, look for the lawsuits to be settled. Apple is not going to win every action it files (see Spanish lawsuit) and its rivals will not win every lawsuit they file. When everyone collectively is fed up with the pissing match, then a deal will be done. Until then, the attorneys are getting fat off of the back-and-forth.

i get the rest.. but what does the subsity deals have to do with the 3g patents?

They want the subsidy agreements to prove that Austrailian companies have signed big deals with Apple thus spinning things into the realm of "corruption" driving the choices and outcomes in the country.
Basically furthering the thought that Apple has been paying off people, companies, and other parties to move their lawsuits along while companies like Samsung are getting turned down even though they have more of a realistic patent suit than apple.
3G is obviously being used and not paid for by Apple...Its cut and dry, but yet courts wont listen to Sammy and Apple is geting bans on products of Sammys just because they are square screens...Ohhh Nooo..

Read what frand is before you say Apple is using 3G patents without a right. Also the subsidiary deals is Apple making money on the carriers not giving them money.

Those are 2 separate statements: 1) Corruption driving things 2) A separate thought that Apple has been paying people off. So 2 things Corruption and Payoffs...
"FRAND" (cough) is a cop-out and not a legal standing in many countries.
Broad generalized patents like "square and shiney" or "touch interaction with a contact list", is all Apple has so there shouldnt be ANY basis for 90% of their lawsuits.

That's the point taco. Apple is making money off the carriers selling their products which is why they want to ban other products...

No DJ was saying that Apple pays companies off. That's way off.
Apple wants to ban products that steal ip. They have a total right to do that. This is good for competition. It will force these companies to innovate instead of copying Apple.

LOL You're the biggest troll on this site. Every normal, sane, intelligent individual knows APPLE steals, copies, and tries to then patent other peoples' or patent broad topics like "square and shiney" or "using touch to access a contact list"...So they can try to squash competition, not to encourage it. Stop trying to SPIN the facts TROLL.

Unless I misunderstood his post he was making two separate points. One regarding the subsidies for carriers and one about the fact that he believes Apple pays off people/companies to help their lawsuits.
Regardless, even Steve Jobs has discussed stealing ideas from people so I don't understand why you think it's okay for him to be such a hypocrite now that it's happening to them.
Besides, the things they are suing over are OBVIOUSLY form factor. It would be one thing if they were suing over software coding and such but the lawsuits with Samsung are mostly regarding shape and appearance, which is laughable at best.
The fact that it's working is sad to say the least.
