Samsung Accuses Foreman Hogan of Misrepresentation
sfcrazy writes "Samsung is clearly accusing Hogan in its recent filing of influencing the jury in favor of Apple. Samsung said in its filing: 'Mr. Hogan's own statements to the media suffice if such a showing is required. Once inside the jury room, Mr. Hogan acted as a "de facto technical expert" who touted his high-tech experience to bring the divided jury together. Contrary to this Court's instructions, he told other jurors incorrectly that an accused device infringes a utility patent unless it is "entirely different"; that a prior art reference could not be invalidating unless that reference was "interchangeable"; and that invalidating prior art must be currently in use. He thus failed "to listen to the evidence, not to consider extrinsic facts, [and] to follow the judge's instructions."'"
Duh, he couldn't even get out of Jury duty.

Wait, George Foreman and Hulk Hogan have been made into a Composite abomination of some kind?
Are they trying to sell the George Foreman and Hulk Hogan Combination Grill and Hair dryer or something?

So, he talked out of his ass.
He must be a regular here on Slashdot! And he probably has karma out the Yin Yang to boot!
They also allege that Hogan has an old grunge against Samsung because they own part of Seagate (which had sued him into bankruptcy 20 years ago) and that he's a patent-owner himself (and very pro-patent)--neither fact he disclosed during the jury selection process.
Well folks, there you have it. The hidden dangers of old grunge; my mother always said it's Satan's music.
A 'singular oddity' is an event that cannot be explained and only happens when you are alone.
You need to read Samsung's reply, which is in the Groklaw article linked from the page.
you're such an idealist! rtfa? that would be a miracle as such :)
