Apple Bringing Second Lawsuit To Samsung, Won't Wait For Appeal
sl4shd0rk writes "Hot on the heels of last year's Apple win over Samsung, Apple is geared up for its second attempt at knocking Samsung's alleged copy-cat products off the store shelves. District Judge Lucy Koh asked both parties if they could stay the new case while the first one goes up on Appeal. Apple denied citing a delay would "seriously and irreparably prejudice Apple." The company "will likely suffer a long-term loss of market share and of downstream sales". Samsung replied with a statement saying "Apple will be unable to meet its burden of proving infringement without resorting to the same improper 'representative product' strategy," [that shouldn't have been allowed in the first case.] Although some may think this is a good move for business on Apple's part, some claim the litigation is responsible for Apple's dipping sales and stock prices as well as Increased visibility of Samsung. In the end however, all this litigation is most likely going to be shouldered on the pocketbook of the consumer'"
They just don't know it yet.
I thought the sitting CEO said he never wanted to sue to begin with, that the case was already in play when jobs died. If that were true, why a new lawsuit??
have you seen my sig? there are many others like it but none that are the same
The standard procedure of a large company in decline.
Samsung should make a commercial out of this.
How in the world would this ever *not* be the case?
How can a product be a copy cat when it is *better* and *more innovative* than the original?
Sssh, hush, dearie, that logic only works when Apple was improving on the smartphones of the Days of Old. Not now when Apple's infallible Design(tm) is what's on the line.
The funny thing is that the Nexus 4 is even better than the S3, and even without LTE it's way better than my old iPhone 5 that I upgraded from. Unless the iPhone 5s/6 break some seriously new ground to catch up in all the areas where Android is better (and the list increases every day) Apple is fucked.
Or if you like being able to get your music and pictures and notes off your phone. Also a good reason to get an Android phone.
Oh, yeah, the fees you agreed to, to get that great rate on the phone.
So why don't the major U.S. carriers give any discount on the monthly bill to customers who choose to bring their own phone or to buy the phone up front at retail price? As far as I can tell, T-Mobile is the only carrier to offer this sort of price structure among the four non-MVNO nationwide carriers in the US, and T-Mobile's coverage is fourth place out of the four.
