Perhaps leaning Apple way in order to not appear biased in favor of Samsung ...

Was not referring to a bias that the judge would be aware of and might act on.

And maybe what looks like bias is actually the judge's opinion of the evidence.
The lawyers for each side build the case and the judge is the referee.
A judge may decide early on, based on evidence, which side has the winning case.

It certainly happens. Once that decision is made a judge may then actively manage
the case, rather than sit back and let the lawyers build the case.

Biased judges or not, the Android behemoth rolls on. This explains the Apple fixation on litigation.
According to new figures released from analyst firm IDC, Android shipments reached 136 million units in Q3 2012, which accounts for 75% of the 181.1 million shipments during the quarter. Or, as IDC puts it, “the Android operating system was found on three out of every four smartphones shipped during the third quarter of 2012.”
