Friday afternoons are horrible at work
So much lethargy
Holy crap
Samsung digging its own grave in this trial
Do they have the worst lawyers or what ?
lol samsung, MS took the deal
http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/13/m...esign-patents/Last week, we found out about Apple's offer to license a bundle of IP -- including its iPhone and iPad design patents -- to Samsung back in 2010. Today, Reuters reports that Apple proposed a similar deal to Microsoft, and the folks in Redmond took them up on the offer. Details of the license itself are scarce, but the deal did, naturally, include an provision expressly prohibiting iDevice copies. So, for folks figuring that Microsoft might face a litigious future similar to Samsung's, think again. Looks like Ballmer and friends had the foresight to buy the rights to those rounded corners, edge-to-edge glass and black bezels on their forthcoming Surface tablets.
so whos winning now?...i heard a few days ago that samsung is getting whooped on.
Hard to tell, tbh... we get access to everything, but jurors don't. I expect an appeal regardless of the outcome anyways.
wow... no lube at all for Samsung...
oh well... next up: appeals...

Damages: 1 billion, 51 million 855 thousand dollars![]()
it's looking an almost clean sweep for Apple
Holy . Can Samsung survive a 1 billion dollar verdict?!?!!?!?!?!?
Yeah, they had 12 B in revenues last Q, they also have 14 b in cash.
$1 billion is just the damages for infringement. They also need to either buy licenses to the patents if they want to keep selling the same phones or make new non-infringing phones...
I expect them to appeal regardless...
This is for you, Steve Jobs
