And by that reasoning, it would be perfectly okay for the US court to tell
Samsung to admit to infringement (since as far as the court is concerned,
Samsung was caught in the act), and then get sued in the UK on that basis.
Or to put it another way, should a court be able to impose a penalty which
consists of "go confess to the court of another country"? I maintain
that that is absurd, and if the court tries to do it, Apple has every right to
use any loophole they can find to prevent it from happening.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

IANAL but this doesn't seem qutie right to me.
It isn't recognizing their own foolhardiness, it is wanting to not go to (have
their Secretary) go to jail and pay unlimitedly high fines for contempt of
court. I don't expect any judge would agree this counts as an admission when it
would be pointed out that doing so would mean that any country who existed both
in the UK and the US would be forced to either allow the UK decission dictate
the US decision or stop doing buisness in the UK (as they would face unlimited
fines as punishment for contempt of court). This would pretty much be saying
that UK law takes precedence over US law...[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
