Apple's Girl
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, September 18 2012 @ 10:18 AM EDT

And how much is Apple paying the Federal Circuit Court to drag it's knuckles on
this?

This is not how I read it
Authored by: PolR on Tuesday, September 18 2012 @ 12:07 PM EDT
This judge didn't say Apple is right. She says Samsung is right but because
there in an on-going appeal she doesn't have jurisdiction to make the ruling and
can't rule because it would be against the law. She indicated she will make the
ruling when jurisdiction comes back to her.

I suppose Samsung may notify the appeal court that the appeal is moot and ask
them to send jurisdiction back to judge Koh. If someone knows about these things
please tell us.

This is procedural nitpicking but I think it is better that a judge does this
than to have a judge ignore the law on the grounds that nobody will bring him in
the backyard to shoot him.

Theoretically . . .
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, September 18 2012 @ 05:45 PM EDT
If the Federal Circuit overturns the jury verdict, it becomes status quo ante --
as if the trial never happened. So, before the trial, the injunction was in
place, so invalidating the verdict returns us to that time. Is Koh anticipating
that? Nice thought.

My problem is, has the Federal Circuit ever seen a patent it didn't like?

Did you read the order?

Might be a good idea before attacking it. If anything this was everything
within the law in Samsung's favor.

Koh agrees with you but doesn't have jurisdiction (and note Koh didn't even
agree with the injunction in the first place - she got overruled on appeal).

Lucifer was one of God's favorite Angels; like Lucy is one of Apple's, hope she turns them!
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, September 19 2012 @ 12:35 PM EDT
It's too bad the name Lucifer was destroyed the the bible.
Because it's not a bad name. But recently you read the
Honorable Judge Lucy Koh being called Lucy Lucifer Koh. Do I
think it's fair? No... it's not fair to either. The name and
the Judge have been falsely maligned in this case.

Somehow I have faith..... not in the justice system, so much
as in how life has a way of always returning back in other
ways what is taken. Criminals whether people or corporations,
whether they know it or not are always dealing with the laws
of nature. Ultimately.... justice lives in the balance and
nature always seeks that balance.

Apple has now attempted to sue their way into the market. A
market they never participated in making in the first place.
Their brand image though has been tarnished by these efforts.
Instead of now being seen as innovative, they are seen as
bullies. No culture in the World likes bullies. They may get
their way for a time, but at what price? Here lately we're
seeing the harder they try to kill competitors like HTC,
Motorola and SAMSUNG.... the more they hurt themselves.

HTC was very small, but Apple made the World aware of them
and they made record profits and have risen in the ranks of
smartphone makers whether we know it or not. Above Rim, Palm,
and many others. Samsung just two years ago sold very few
smartphones. Feature phones was their game and making parts
for other phone makers. Now they are not only on the verge of
becoming one of the largest Semiconductor makers because of
Apple (whether they continue to have their chips made by them
or not), but they are the undisputed leader in Smartphone
Sales. The more Apple has tried to KILL them... the more
damage they've done to themselves and their reputation and
the less phones they actually sell.

Along with SAMSUNG SELLING EVEN MORE PHONES!!!

Right now Samsung is on track to sell a record over 200
Million Smartphones this year alone. That's never been done
before. Not by Apple or any other phone maker. By comparison,
Apple by the end of September, will have sold less than 90
Million for 3/4 or the year. Meaning they would have to sell
over 110 Million Smartphones in this last Q4Dec2012 quarter
just to get close to Samsung. So in effect, they would have
to sustain sales of one Million phones every day that's left
this year!

What does that prove? That Life has this wonderful way of
bringing around what goes around despite our somewhat flawed
IP laws and anticompetitive nature of some companies!!! :D

Reminds me of "My cousin Vinny"
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, September 19 2012 @ 03:46 PM EDT
Judge Chamberlain Holler: That is a lucid, intelligent, well-thought out
objection.

Vinny: Thank you, your honor.

Judge Chamberlain Holler: Overruled

Apple's Girl

I don't think Judge Koh is "Apple's girl". Frankly, that was my
initial impression after she blocked both Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy Nexus, but
after following the case more closely, I got the impression this is not the
case.

It seems to me Judge Koh is simply a fresh and relatively inexperienced judge
who got into a case which is too big for her to handle and she's simply out of
her depth here.
