The jury appears to have awarded damages for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 LTE infringing ? $219,694 worth ? but didn't find that it had actually infringed anything.

A similar inconsistency exists for the Intercept, for which they'd awarded Apple over $2 million

Rather than simply having the monies removed, Apple is asking that the jury be allowed to revisit its infringement findings.

Just shows that most of the jury already had their minds set to give this to Apple and have just sweepingly given Apple money even on products that don't infringe. Sad really. Samsung really didn't have a chance.

So basically this what Apple won.. mind boggling

*snip*

Totally innovation :rolleyes:

Ya, because if Samsung had came up with the idea first, they wouldn't have patented it and then sued anyone who stole the idea :s

Blame the system, not the company that used it. It Apple hadn't patented it and then followed up any violations they would have been grossly negligent towards their shareholders

sadly, which is soo stupid, Apple is getting WAY TOO anti-competitive. whatever happened to breaking up overly large companies?

it happened to Microsoft at one point, why is it that Apple seems to be immune from this?

Microsoft was never broken up into smaller companies. That was one of the original goals but it was later dropped during the appeal process, IIRC.

Apple argues that based on the nuance of the language in the instructions this is a non-issue and both decisions can stand. Koh admits that she "is swayed" by Apple's argument.

Who cares where it was done first? Someone invented the steering wheel first but every car has one. Patents are idiotic.

Like other the components of an automobile, the steering wheel has a patent. So, if I were to make a car, and I just threw the traditional steering wheel in without license the patent, guess what happens to me? The US Justice system would Samsung me.

Just shows that most of the jury already had their minds set to give this to Apple and have just sweepingly given Apple money even on products that don't infringe. Sad really. Samsung really didn't have a chance.

Your team lost, so you start with the conspiracy theories. Color me surprised.

Samsung's statement:

Today's verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer. It will lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices. It is unfortunate that patent law can be manipulated to give one company a monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners, or technology that is being improved every day by Samsung and other companies. Consumers have the right to choices, and they know what they are buying when they purchase Samsung products. This is not the final word in this case or in battles being waged in courts and tribunals around the world, some of which have already rejected many of Apple's claims. Samsung will continue to innovate and offer choices for the consumer.

100% agree. Most of the world is throwing these patents out. it is indeed a loss for an American consumer.

As an apple fan I was swayed by what Samsung had to say being honest. They made some compelling notions in any of their counter arguments against Apple.

From what I can see the whole design of the iPhone might of been "obvious" which is a huge talking point but like most things obvious. It's only so after it;s been pointed out. How many inventions do you see on tv that are of that very nature until someone points it out to you??

It's about consumer choice and innovation. not teams.

Too bad that's not true on Neowin and various other sites/forums. Thread comes up about Google's plan to sue Apple, and suddenly everyone's on their feet goin "DO IT, DO IT!!"

How quickly the worry over consumer choice and innovation fades. :laugh:

I don't know how anyone can be "swayed" by arguments someone invented a device with rounded corners and owns the rights to it.. but ok

Look at the George Foreman grill, it's just a grill pointed downwards so the fat runs off, pretty obvious and basic but they have made billions of dollars from something like that and I believe it is patented or secured in some manner.

Fact is, Apple got there first and they spent many years and lots and lots of money to get there, Samsung could have been first but they were not.

    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.

      I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.

      So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
