Judge Koh Rules: Samsung Did Not Willfully Infringe

sfcrazy writes "In a nutshell there won't be a new trial in the Apple V. Samsung case, as Samsung wanted, because the judge thinks that the trial was fair despite allegations that the jury foreman could have been biased. She also ruled that there won't be any more money for Apple as the iPhone maker failed to prove they were 'undercompensated' by the jury. The most important ruling was that she found that 'Samsung did not willfully infringe.'"

I don't think that "the fat lady" has sung yet in this opera! Personally, I think that at the end of it all, either A&S will enter some sort of x-licensing agreement, or Samsung will kick Apple's butt to the curb and Apple will end up with a lot less proprietary IP than they started with. If Apple is smart, they will come to some sort of licensing agreement with Samsung.

how did Samsung unwillingly infringe? By copying the complete design of the original iPhone, they were just doing what a lot of Koreans do: make copies of original American products. My ex-gf was involved in a sportswear company and it was part of her job to create infringing designs so people would believe they were buying original clothes from the famous labels she stole the look from.
