Samsung was recently called out
Authored by: Wol on Thursday, January 03 2013 @ 03:24 AM EST
Samsung isn't in trouble. They've been asked to explain themselves.

If the EU believes Samsung, then Apple have just dug a very big bear-trap for
themselves to fall into...

Cheers,
Wol

The injunctions weren't sought just over SEPs but against companies who decided
they didn't need to bother to pay for SEPs or even to negotiate the amount they
should pay, they ere sought against companies who thought everyone else's
patents (SE or otherwise) were worthless whilst their own were made of platinum
plated gold studded with rose diamonds.

The US judge did something rather strange ...

Any intelligent person who is against patents of black rectangles with rounded corners should also be against the use of SEPs for injunctions.
I'd be surprised if a lot of people here were happy if Motorola were the side that started this by suing first over their SEPs.

Thing is, if I have "ownership" of something and you're using it without either my permission or paying for it then you can be quite sure I'm going to do what I can to take what you should not have in whatever way I can (legally that is).

Remember who started Apple v Samsung? Yeah, that'd be Apple. So what did Samsung do? They counter attacked. You know what a counter attack is? If you attack me with a knife and I happen to have a gun, good luck, because if I get my gun out before you disable me I'm going to shoot.

Again, if Samsung was the first to sue over their SEPs, I'm pretty sure that few here would be happy about it.

Might wanna take those blinkers off. You don't appear to be seeing quite as much as what others here can see.

Or are you just trolling again? Careful when you use the word ignorant about others. People in grass houses shouldn't store thrones.
