I don't think so. A stolen item is a stolen item, whether its a priceless
antique or a worthless trinket. Its not ok to steal worthless trinkets even if
they are worthless.
This is more like being convicted of stealing priceless antiques, and then it
being revealed that the person you allegedly stole them from didn't actually
have them, and just had an empty display case all along.
OF course, at this point only some of the patents have been found to be invalid.
Samsung's still got a long road ahead... but if even one patent is ruled
invalid, the billion dollar settlement is going to need to be reworked as I
don't recall there being any formal breakdown of what damages were for which
phones violated which patents.
Its going to be interesting. I'm still hoping the whole thing is tossed on
appeal though.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
