• Jury in Apple v. Samsung Goofed, Damages Reduced -- Uh Oh. What's Wrong With this Picture? ~pj - Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, August 26 2012 @ 05:19 AM EDT

"We were debating heavily, especially about the patents on bounce back and pinch-to-zoom. Apple said they owned patents, but we were debating about the prior art [about the same technology that Samsung said existed before the iPhone debuted]. . . In the beginning the debate was heated, but it was still civil. Hogan holds patents, so he took us through his experience. After that it was easier.

Did the jurors skip the most important question before them . . . determining whether Apple's patents were valid or not?

Actually difficult to tell what happened at that point. Did they agree they were valid after the foreman explained patents . .. or "we skipped that one," Ilagan continued, "so we could go on faster. It was bogging us down." ?
