Samsung raises jury misconduct in bid for new Apple trial
Authored by: artp on Tuesday, September 25 2012 @ 03:50 PM EDT

One document reviewed by CNET shows Samsung predicting its arguments will likely "subject all of the jurors to extra-judicial scrutiny and public criticism which they may find unwelcome and intrusive" and that both sides be "ordered to have no further contact with any of the jurors" for now. In addition, Samsung warns, "future proceedings on this matter may be compromised by further inquiries from the parties, the media and others, and attendant publicity."

Well, I wonder what ol' Velvin will have to say about this?

Samsung goes after jury foreman in bid to reverse Apple verdict

Samsung goes after jury foreman in bid to reverse Apple verdict

His post-trial comments led some commenters to question whether the jury placed undue reliance on his explanations of the relevant law and calculations of damages.

Isn't the mere fact that he presented his own "explanations of the relevant law" a cause for mistrial? He is not the one to determine which law is relevant, and his layman explanations of it should not be allowed, much less trusted, in the jury deliberations. Both of those tasks fall on the court, not him. Add to this that he was demonstrably wrong on several accounts, e.g. made up his own conditions for what should constitute valid prior art, and I think Samsung can make a pretty strong case for a retrial if they get to ask him and the jury formal questions of what went down behind those doors during deliberations.

Of course, that is merely my layman's opinion, and as such it should not be trusted, but my bets are definitely not on Apple here.

Apple IPhone 5’s Thin Display
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, September 25 2012 @ 07:13 PM EDT
Bloomberg Newspick
[PJ: Apple reduced its order of displays and chips from Samsung. So there you go. Now it doesn't have enough, its stock took a hit, and customers are waiting. You reap what you sow. The patent wars are taking a huge toll on everyone, including Apple.]
Well, please explain why the IHS teardown Newspick didn't even mention the display? I'll go with the absence of evidence as evidence of absence, given the iPhone 5 has a new display technology, that Samsung simply didn't yet have the capacity to supply itself and Apple. As a smartphone buyer who is slightly aware of these matters I'd be concerned if there was only one source on Earth for these displays. I'd even suggest compulsory licensing of the technology to other factories.

Another well known teardown site commends Apple for the way the new display is mounted. One (special) screwdriver and a suction cup are all that are required to replace the display should the need arise.

Surprise! Hogan thinks there was no misconduct
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, September 25 2012 @ 08:26 PM EDT
"There was no jury misconduct at all," Hogan said. http://www.sgvtribune.com/business/ci_21621841/samsung- apple-seeks-new-trial-l egal-feud-smartphone

Not that he probably has any idea what the misconduct relay to, but I would bet he's scrambling to get the jury story straight. I wouldn't be surprised if an investigation reveals nothing untoward simply because it's so hard to prove.
