Well I must say it couldn't have happened to a nicer company. It finally
backfired on them. Now they can't sell there pads and phones but Samsung won't
have to do much to change the silly bounce back feature to be able to continue
selling their older model phones if they bother to, as it didn't mention the
GSIII as infringing.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

But none of that really matters. You can go out today and find
twenty or
thirty smart phones and tablets that look and work like an iPhone,
iPad, or Samsung, or
HTC, or whatever.
...
I would be willing to bet a
lot of money that at this very moment, in some street-side stall
in downtown
Beijing, right between the stalls selling Rolex watches and Louis Vuitton
shoes, you can plunk down 80 Yuan (about $13 US) and walk away with an
iPhone,
complete with an Apple logo, running a Windows Phone
OS.

He's right, I've seen them. The ticket prices are
usually double that and you have to haggle
it down. They are available running
most of the popular phone OSes

— remember, the jury will only be looking at one or two specific
claims of the patent, not the broad descriptions here:
3GPP standards
patents:
US
7,447,516 — power limiting / reducing interference; part of the 3GPP
standard
US
7,675,941 — alternative e-bit technology, part of the 3GPP standard
Non-standard-essential patents:
US 7,577,460 — method of
transmitting emails, with and without embedded images, from mobile phone with
built-in camera.
US
7,456,893 — device with mode switching between photo mode and image display
mode, when switched back to display mode it displays the most recent image
viewed before the mode switch.
US
7,698,711 — selecting MP3 mode on a mobile device, playing music in
background while performing other functions, with the display continuing to
indicate that music is being played.

Well the broad descriptions are,
like, doh! Isn't that the way this stuff is s'posed to work? So pity the poor
jury having to grind down to the individual claim language, and decide
dependence or not on other claims. Then there are those
"part of the standard"
patents. Somewhere there ought to be a clause that says when you offer a
patented technology as part of an industry standard, you also donate the patent
to the public domain.

Re. CNET's remark
in the pick-list.
I fail to understand why the commentator expects other
manufacturers to bend to Apple's patented nonsense.
To me it looks a
lot easier and cheaper to have the next gen
of devices appearing distinctly
differently from the
"patented" dress - trapezoïd, anyone (to help recognize
which way is "up").
Better out of reach of the Danes than pay the
Danegeld, no?
