How Apple v. Samsung Was Explained To the Jury
jfruh writes "10 jurors have been sworn in for the Apple v. Samsung case, which is at the heart of the ongoing patent disputes over the companies' smartphones. While most Slashdot readers are familiar with many of the facts of the case and the law, the jury is at least in theory supposed to be something of a blank slate. Thus, it's interesting to see the detailed instructions Judge Lucy Koh gave to the jury, covering everything from the differences between utility and design patents to how to measure the credibility of witnesses."
Isn't the judge, - Lucy Koh, - the same judge that grant an injunction for Apple, against Samsung ?
As illustrated in Slashdot's report on http://apple.slashdot.org/story/12/07/02/0241212/samsung-appeals-apples-injunction-against-galaxy-nexus
How fair you think this judge Lucy Koh can conduct herself?
Muchas Gracias, Señor Edward Snowden !
You don't know what you are talking about. Think about this for two seconds: there are plenty of phones and tablets that don't infringe on Apple's design patents, so there are no grounds for invalidating the patents. That's just a ridiculous wet dream you and a million other clueless nerds are having. Samsung was so lazy with their design they didn't even bother to try to come up with something new, and they were probably trying to capitalize on Apple's success by making similar looking devices. It's exactly the kind of thing patents are intended to prevent.
