Apple Lawyers intentionally misleading on LG Prada
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, August 22 2012 @ 12:30 AM EDT
Announced December 2006
> The handset will be initially available in Italy, the U.K, Germany and
France
> ... at the beginning of 2007.
> ... Korea, where LG is based, starting in the second quarter of next year

Unfortunately those countries are not recognised by, or within the
jurisdiction of US courts. The critical date would be when it became
available for purchase within US,

Lawyers lie all the time
Authored by: artp on Wednesday, August 22 2012 @ 09:58 AM EDT
But it was especially difficult to read Apple's closing
remarks without yelling out at some particularly absurd
statements.

I have sat in courtrooms and heard lawyers lie - and get
away with it. Lawyers get to do things all the time that we
are taught not to do in kindergarten. They are antisocial in
the courtroom. Nobody would put up with that kind of
behavior in public.

The legal system is broken. We need to fix that, too, not
just the patent system. We need to stop letting lawyers lie.
They need to be held to the same standards as witnesses.
Letting cases be decided based on legal lies is not a good
strategy. And why can't a "normal" person talk to the judge
in a trial? Who knows more about the facts that the
litigants? Let the judge sort it out.

Why do I have to pay a lawyer to speak for me, and make me
sit on the sidelines in a case that is vital to me, but is
one of many for him? I have sat at a table twice wondering
why my attorney wasn't talking about the important points of
the case? I'm sure that HE thinks he was talking about
something important, but the law is opaque to someone not
"trained in the art".

Let me remind you that disputes were settled without the
benefit of legal counsel for eons before the modern legal
system evolved, and are still settled without the benefit of
legal counsel today - if the parties involved have a lick of
common sense.

If I did one tenth the violations of trust as a registered
professional engineer or certified project manager that
lawyers get away with every day -- I would be charged with
violation of the law, and my professional registration would
be investigated for revocation. There is a responsibility to
the public trust in every profession that I can think of -
engineering, accounting, medical, dental, surveying. There
is an oath administered to remind the applicant that they
report to more than their corporate bosses.

On a final note, the press lies all the time, too. I have
been at events that were reported in the press, and what
happened was nothing remotely similar to what was reported.
That is why I appreciate Groklaw so much. It is an oasis in
the desert of modern journalism. I believe that it is a
return to the old values of journalism, minus the pistol
duels, that made the US a vital democracy.
