Once again he goes down the 'because you can't run the software on a different
processor' route - but this time goes into much more detail.
Also mentions he knows how to read source code and told them that since they did
it in a different way in source code - thats why Apple didn't infringe Samsungs
patents.
And my favourite quote "The jurors wanted to send a message to the industry
at large that no matter who you are - whether you are Apple, whether you are
Samsung, or anybody - if you wilfully take the risk to cross the line and start
infringing and you get caught, and again I emphasise wilfully, you need to be
prepared to pay the cost for that."
So here he is admiting ignoring jury orders and generating an amount based on
wilful infringement to send a message to people.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

| Here is the BBC link to the full transcript of the interview - where he shows
even more astounding leaps in logic.

I think the courts need to make a decision on prior art. Specifically, if
inventor A invents a touch screen with controls, then:
Can inventor
B, after inventor A, patent device X "with a touch
screen"?
Fundamentally, this question is driving the patent
world crazy. Adding the key words "on a cell phone" or "over the Internet"
should not automatically create a new device for the purposes of
patenting.
The jury foreman is obviously completely lost on what
constitutes prior art, and I don't think the courts have been remarkably clear
either. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

It seems to me that sometimes juries take a view "what would I want if it
were me".
In this case the foreman appeared to have a mindset that 'if it were me suing
over my patent then I would want a $billion'. In this way he tries to establish
a level of reward for patent owners. All he needs now is a rich company to sue.
