Federal Circuit Denies Apple's Request for Rehearing En Banc ~pj
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, February 01 2013 @ 05:48 AM EST
A flat "denied" suggests that the appeals court is not wasting too
much time with Apple's nonsense.

I don't think Apple will find the next venue nearly as accommodating as Koh's
court.

Odds
Authored by: maroberts on Friday, February 01 2013 @ 08:20 AM EST
So what odds is everyone giving on
a) reducing the level of damages owed by Samsung to Apple on appeal
b) getting a complete retrial on one or more grounds?

Going Nuclear
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, February 01 2013 @ 08:31 AM EST

People have been going Nuclear with a wide range of patents. Monsanto
and seeds for example,

Any legislation meant to rein in this type of behavior would have to consider
the system as a whole, not just software. Part of the problem comes down
to producing a definition of software besides I know it when I see it. Part of
the problem is that software is embedded in so many devices, and how do
you separate the two?

Last but not least, there are other types of endeavor which are suffering
too. By fixating on software, we deny them succor.

apple honest
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, February 01 2013 @ 08:36 AM EST
Hey, apple are honest that the damages are unrecoverable, because now people
know there are better alternatives than apple. Without other players in the
market, apple's sells are granted. Now apple wants to go back to that time. Why
do you deny them this *right*?! After all they were first to claim the market is
theirs, it is too late for others now they have a patent over a device with
corners, just don't get in their way, understood?

On a more serious note, I am wondering why do they think the samsung devices
have rounded corners, in another pov they just don't have corners :)

Apple has the money to litigate
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, February 05 2013 @ 09:15 AM EST
Apple has the money to litigate.

You win some, you lose some as lawsuits go. And the only way to determine
the validity of a patent is to sue to protect your rights to it.

Apple already has cross license agreements that protect its designs with:
HTC, Microsoft, Nokia.

Apple has exposed Google as evil. Google's attempt to sue Apple and others
over FRAND patents and renege on its grand-back license for MP4 video is
like SCO breaking the GPL - Groklaw's favorite license.

And with all this litigation, the outcome that will be interesting is if Samsung

FORKS Android so it has its own version like Amazon has its own version. It
would still run Android apps. But it would be free of evil Google's teats.
