I would say that a lot of people here have a problem with the implementation of
patents in general, but are trying to pick fights they think they can win, with
an eye to the eventual goal, rather than gunning straight at the goal.
Personally, trademark law is the only thing bunched under "IP law"
that I think of as useful. And only in as much as it lets you know who and what
you are buying, so making company reputations are important. It doesn't seem to
be doing a good job due to general apathy, but I think that's a seperate issue.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

There are reports of consumers reading about Apple's
lawsuit against Samsung and commenting:
Guy: "Wait, so what they're
saying is, Samsung is the same as Apple?"
Friend: "I know, right? Makes me
think twice about how much I paid for my Mac Book"
Guy:
"Seriously"
That raises a couple very real questions:
When did
people start thinking Samsung phones are the equivalent of Apple?
Did
Apple's own actions cause the lion's share of that thinking?
From my own
perspective: Samsungs phones are better then Apple's. But I prefer my software
FLOSS so I'm biased in that regard and would hold the same view of most Android
devices.

Actually, it looks like a lot of this stems from Magistrate Judge Grewal.
Maybe Judge Koh has picked up on the fact Judge Grewal seems to be
"against" Samsung, and has just built on that, without actually
looking at the evidence herself.
Certainly I get the impression she's pretty much rubber-stamping his decisions,
and as far as discovery etc is concerned, they are mostly his decisions, I
think.
Others have said she seems out of her depth ... exactly the circumstances she's
likely to rely on others - who may themselves be out of their depth!
