Good morning Domi! Posting a June 8, 2012 article. Looks like you took the song "Wake me up when September ends" too seriously. :wink2: Anyways, why don't you post the complete snip. :acute: Motorola'scontention that the term has a "plain and ordinary meaning" is ridiculous; Motorola seems to have forgotten that this is a jury trial. It's not Apple - it's years of rut thanks to the genius monopolists starting from IBM, then Microsoft to the current monopolists - Apple. This is not about Apple don't make it sound like one - this is about an effectively broken patent system in the US.

CG Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 U.S. court clears Samsung's Galaxy Nexus, hands Apple setback (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court overturned a pretrial sales ban against Samsung Electronics Co Ltd's (005930.KS) Galaxy Nexus smartphone, dealing a setback to Apple Inc in its battle against Google Inc's (GOOG.O) increasingly popular mobile software. Apple (AAPL.O) is waging war on several fronts against Google, whose Android software powers many of Samsung's devices. The ruling on Thursday from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit is not expected to have an outsized impact on the smartphone market, as the Nexus is an aging product in Samsung's lineup. Apple's stock closed down nearly 2 percent at $628.10. However, the court's reasoning could make it much harder for companies that sue over patents get competitors' products pulled from the market, said Colleen Chien, a professor at Santa Clara Law school in Silicon Valley. Such sales injunctions have been a key for companies trying to increase their leverage in courtroom patent fights. "The Federal Circuit has said, 'Wait a minute,'" Chien said. Apple declined to comment, while Samsung did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Apple scored a sweeping legal victory over Samsung in August when a U.S. jury found Samsung had copied critical features of the hugely popular iPhone and iPad and awarded Apple $1.05 billion in damages. The Nexus phone was not included in that trial, but is part of a tandem case Apple filed against Samsung earlier this year. U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh issued a pretrial injunction against the Nexus in June, based on an Apple patent for unified search capability. The appeals court then stayed that injunction until it could formally rule. In its opinion on Thursday, the Federal Circuit reversed the injunction entirely, saying that Koh abused her discretion. Apple failed to prove that consumers purchased the Samsung product because of the infringing technology, the appeals court ruled. "It may very well be that the accused product would sell almost as well without incorporating the patented feature," the court wrote. "And in that case, even if the competitive injury that results from selling the accused device is substantial, the harm that flows from the alleged infringement (the only harm that should count) is not." The court considered a single patent - one which allows the smartphone to search multiple data storage locations at once. For example, the smartphone could search the device's memory as well as the Internet with a single query. The appeals court has sent the case back to Koh for reconsideration. A separate pretrial sales ban Apple had managed to win against Samsung - targeting the Galaxy Tab 10.1 - was dissolved earlier this month after Samsung won at trial on that patent. Beyond the Nexus, Samsung also has a collection of new tablets and smartphones intended for launch before the holidays. On Wednesday, Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt called the intensifying struggle between Apple and his company a "defining fight" for the future of the mobile industry. The case in the Federal Circuit is Apple Inc vs. Samsung Electronics Co Ltd et al., 12-1507. (Reporting By Diane Bartz; Editing by Gerald E.

So, good luck buying all the accessories all over again. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2215599/Apples-iPad-Mini-seen-IN-FULL-time-best-set-leaked-pictures.html

The company that has been suing others left, right and center for infringing their patents and demanding compensation for that, actually went on to use a professional photographer's photograph in an ad campaign without bothering to pay for it. Now the photographer is suing them. Karma. Here is the image: And this is immediately after Apple was caught having shamelessly copied the Swiss clock design. That is quite shameless and hypocritical for a company suing everyone else for copying it's own work.

That is quite shameless and hypocritical for a company suing everyone else for copying it's own work. But they paid royalty for the clock when called out, which Samsung refused to. So what do you do when someone steals your property? Make more money and bigger property for them to steal or complain to the police and recover the property?
DomainK Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Takes Apple 14 days to make a change in their website: Apparently the UK court is not happy with the wordings and placement of Apple's apology to Samsung, which was posted on some inside page. When the court asked Apple to change the wordings and post it on the homepage, Apple's argument was "It would take at least 14 days to do so" to which a judge replied saying he can not believe that. 14 days for an online update for the supposedly best tech company in the world? Good follow up on the single point slide. http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/nov/01/apple-samsung-statement
