at a distance any fukking smart phone can look like the iphone:aicmon:

i understand not having your ideas stolen but these are retarded, pinch zoom?
touch screens? the're trying to get a monopoly and you idiots are cheering them on

imaging if nintendo tried to patent controllers on consoles or some shyt

doesnt matter if your a fan of their product, this is bad news for consumers

Apple looks to have paid some of the decision makers.

Jury instructions:
The amount of those damages must be adequate to compensate the patent holder for the infringement. A damages award should put the patent holder in approximately the financial position it would have been in had the infringement not occurred, but in no event may the damages award be less than a reasonable royalty. You should keep in mind that the damages you award are meant to compensate the patent holder and not to punish an infringer.

Jury foreman, post-verdict:
"We wanted to make sure the message we sent was not just a slap on the wrist," Hogan said. "We wanted to make sure it was sufficiently high to be painful, but not unreasonable."


:heh:

Samsung has to be happy the jurors are so eager to step in front of cameras

Swaggerjacking is a part of South Korean culture. Have you ever seen a Korean brand that didn't have a bunch of items that looked like a bootleg version of a Japanese, American or German brand?

This is from a reader from that cnet blog you posted and in my opinion it sums up everything perfectly.


August 24 at 8:19 PM | Reader Mike writes : Hooray for Apple! I love Samsung. I have a Samsung netbook, several TVs, a fridge, washer and dryer, all by Samsung. But after educating myself on the extent of Samsung's infringement, it is clear to me they are totally at fault. Look at the damning internal documents that compare the Galaxy phone prototype to the iPhone, and the fundamental changes made to the Galaxy phone in order to better emulate the iphone prior to the actual release date. Look at Apple's warning to Samsung to stop copying their patents. Look at Apple's decision to offer Samsung licensing rights, keeping in mind their strategic relationship as Samsung was a key supplier to Apple, and Samsung's outright refusal. Look at Google warning to Samsung to stop blatantly copying the iPhone, and Samsung's refusal to do so. Samsung had multiple opportunities to do the right thing, and chose not to. The punishment should reflect their willful infringement, and perhaps award treble damages. I am not completely familiar with the law. But I believe innovation should be encouraged and protected. Apple took a huge calculated risk in introducing a phone in 2007. A product for which they had no prior experience with. They spent billions on developing the all touch screen and the OS that supported it, as well as putting an ecosystem in place that would allow developers to create even better, more individualized solutions for all of their users. Apple is putting billions of dollars into other people's pockets, including their own. But those people making money are truly innovating and providing great end user products and apps. For Samsung to outright steal in a matter of months what took Apple billions of dollars and a number of years to come up with, and for Samsung to profit from their actions without consequence, was an injustice. This will begin to right the ship. And I have faith that Samsung will introduce new concepts that even Apple may not have thought of, and this will spur true innovation. In the end, we as consumers will be rewarded with more original products and ideas.

That explains why Samsung ignored Apple and Google's warning. It's in their culture lol.

Apple letting Samsung slide would be like asking Timbaland to ghost produce a beat for you.
:childplease: Not happening.

Timbaland has ghost-produced a lot of beats...

Jodeci, One Republic... shyt even some Danja early songs sound ghost-produced by Timbo cause Danja's latest beats suck ass.
