Judge Overrules Samsung Objection To Jury Instructional Video

itwbennett (1594911) writes "U.S. District Judge Lucy H. Koh on Sunday overruled Samsung Electronics' objections to showing jurors a recent instructional video on how patents work, ahead of a trial in a patent dispute between Apple and Samsung. The new video, called 'The Patent Process: An Overview for Jurors,' was developed by the Federal Judicial Center to provide jurors with an introduction to the patent system. Samsung's objection is to several scenes in which Apple products are depicted and used (and, by extension, seen as patentable and innovative)."

    Don't be silly, everyone knows that apple invented the computer, the Internet, the MP3 player, the smartphone, the smart watch and that Steve Jobs figured out how to solve climate change and buried the secret deep within iTunes, if only we could get the damned program to run properly so we could save the world.

    Why did a second instructional video have to be made?

    Because the first one, "Fucking patents - how do they work?" was thought to be in contempt.

    But, the chances of grouping 12 imbeciles from a random selection is very improbable.

    In this country?
