I get out of jail

Authored by: Anonymous on Saturday, December 22 2012 @ 10:35 AM EST

True.... but at a minimum new evidence may be enough to trigger a new trial (or

result in a conviction being overturned).

The original post seemed to suggest that since the original decision was based
on the fact that at the time of the decision the patent was considered valid,
that
Samsung would be obligated to pay even if it was found not to be valid. Had
this decision been after Samsung paid, they would likely be SOL in terms of
getting their money back - since at the time Apple was pursuing a remedy
based on what was at the time a legitimate patent. However, Apple could no
longer use an invalid patent to pursue other lawsuits, and any contracts
negotiated on the basis of the patent being valid may be invalidated, depending

on the terms.
