  1. Re:Sick of this on Apple's Pinch+Zoom Patent Invalidated By Preliminary USPTO Ruling · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yea a lot of people were showing their disgust with this case after the results from the jury was read. Even from apple fans as well that are not happy with how apple is going about things, they decided to try to stop competition by litigation instead of being innovative. When case was decided by the jury, sales of samsung GS3 spiked after the trial.

    Sad this judge should set a retrial as to how bad the jury screwed up not just with the foreman but as in terms of all the prior art they didn't even bother to look at that instructions said they had to. AN appeal will come from samsung, so as with cases like this its never over for years.

    i wouldn't say samsung infringed, cause fact in this trial the jury pretty much ignored their instructions when it came to prior art. Even in post interviews they admitted they did, and speed through the sheet.

    When you do small updates to products every 6 months and charge more for them each time, it offset's the people that ditch ya. but as for apple's market share its stuck around 15% with iOS while android OS is owning with 75% in Q3 2012

    the longer apple fights this, the more $ per device they will have to dish out as track record showing apple's refusal to make a deal will hurt then in FTC/court's eye's.

  18. Apple is killing themselves in this... on Apple Suit Against Motorola Over FRAND Licensing Rates Dismissed · · Score: 2

    Yea So far when it comes to these LTE patents it seems like Apple is unreasonable. But best way for samsung and google to battle apple in this case would be provide licensing costs that other phone makers pay for these patents. If Apple is trying to force a a lot lower rate. They apple can be seen as being unreasonable party if case gets to FTC. Apple was offered a # by samsung, Apple just walked away without even trying to negotiate, and LTE patent being only worth $1, per device seems kinda low and iffy. Looking at all these cases Apple is bring on against motorola and refusal to work with samsung on license option. Wonder how long it will be til both google and samsung say they got some litigation for apple, an FTC Import ban, Apple's constant court filing IMO is a clear case of apple not wanting to license these key patents anything that seen as reasonable by samsung/google's means. When it gets to point FTC sales ban comes in to pay against apple, all this crap of apple trying to avoid a license is gonna end up with their balls which Google/Samsung brand shotgun next to them.

    "On 9th July 2012 the High Court of Justice of England and Wales ruled that Samsung Electronic (UK) Limited’s Galaxy Tablet Computer, namely the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Tab 8.9 and Tab 7.7 do not infringe Apple’s registered design No. 0000181607-0001." "A U.S. jury also found Samsung guilty of infringing on Apple's design and utility patents, awarding over one billion U.S. dollars in damages to Apple Inc" Issue here is The US case the jury even being apples home town jury found the galaxy tab didn't violate any of apples design patents in that case. So how apple can think that ad was good enough is beyond me, that case is still not over by a long shot as how messed up jury is turning out to been.

  23. Re:Is $2.25 FRAND? on To Mollify Google on Moto Patents, Apple Proposes $1/Device Fee · · Score: 1

    it does, 2.25% of the cost of full price phone, which can vary based on model, 15$ on 600$ iphone. On FRAND yes moto has to license it under fair and reasonable price. BUT it works both ways and Apple has to be fair and reasonable as well. they can't offer some insanely low number and stick to it. Since Apple has been infringing on patent since forever there should be some extra back due interest paid on all those devices that have been sold to date.

  25. Re:That's Funny, the ITC Sees it Completely Differ on DoJ Investigating Samsung For Patent Abuse · · Score: 1

    Well Samsung could asked for 80 or 90% and cause apple didn't even sit at the table to negotiate the price they are ones that are seen as at fault. As for 15$ being to much that is a matter of opinion. When you look at profit margin of apple's products it don't seem that much to me. Even if apple sat at the table and said they would pay 0% and never came off that no matter what Samsung did. Apple is at fault as the FRAND requires fair and reasonable which wouldn't be fair.
