This news will never end. Apple has added a new device to their lawsuit against Samsung, the Galaxy Note 10.1. Along with a new device, Apple also includes an entire version of Android: 4.1 Jelly Bean. Despite already winning a trial (and Samsung having to pay $1.05 billion dollars to them), they’re still trying to get more and more. This trial for… Read more
In a very strange turn of events, Apple is now open to pay licensing fees to Motorola. Apple has never been one to do so, but now their lawyers told a court that they would pay a dollar per iPhone sold to Motorola to use their essential patents. $1 isn’t bad money for patents (though it could stand to be a bit larger of a sum), and considering how many… Read more
Just when everyone thought the Apple vs Samsung war was simmering down – Samsung has decided to get back into the fight.

It looks like even the jury is having a hard time deciding who would win the trial. They asked to extend their time past the 4:30 PM mark before the weekend for extra time to review the papers. Granted, they do have to review a 40 page worksheet, then work out the details. So asking for more time is understandable. This trial might drag on for quite a… Read more
Samsung and Apple both rested their respective cases last week, leaving the weekend to prepare for their closing arguments. Once both sides have given their arguments, the jury will begin deliberating on the alleged patent violations, with a decision expected to be made in the following days. Last week, Judge Koh remained “pathologically… Read more
The stories about Judge Lucy Koh continue. Once again, she has done something ridiculous, though this time it won’t affect the actual case. Usually, she makes decisions that badly affect the case for both sides, so it’s good to see her acting unprofessional WITHOUT hurting the case. Apple submitted a 75 page briefing on 22 rebuttal witnesses that… Read more
In the Samsung vs. Apple case, the Korean giant is out to prove that the technology that Apple is claiming they pioneered with the first iPhone, was actually in fact, copied from other companies. With Apple’s case completed, Samsung has stepped into the aggressor role. Samsung is stating that Apple stole the “bounce-back” feature – or the way the… Read more
In another dramatic day in the courtroom, a strange turn of events has occurred. Samsung now wants to use Apple’s exact sales numbers in its cross-examination of Phil Shiller, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Marketing.
