Why is it everytime someone opens their mouth about google it
is always "do not evil? ha! they are evil data miners!"
who cares? they give dozens of FREE resources. if you don't
want to deal with targeted advertising, don't sign up for a
google account. simple as that. of the several companies we
see in the news every day, i would trust Google with my
information way before apple, facebook, or microsoft... so
please don't play the "turn the table" game. It's not one you
can win in this context.

What about sanctions on Samsung in the event that they are found
to really have
copied the iPhone?
How do you define
"copied"?
And what measure do you use to decide where to draw the line on
"things that can't be copied because they are 'owned'" and "things that can be
copied because they are public domain"? After all - copying in and of itself -
is not against the Law!
I'd say "rectangle with rounded corners" should
belong in the public domain. But I'm not the USPTO who seems to grant patents
willy-nilly because they no longer have the spirit to say no to Patent Lawyers
who don't want to accept no as an answer.
Ok, not willy-nilly. I just
looked that up and it indicates a random pattern. And one certainly can't claim
regularly granting patents on something like "rectangle with rounded corners" is
random.

The difference is, if the suit by Apple is ultimately found to be valid and
warrants reparations of some sort, Apple will get their money, whereas if the
patents are invalidated, but AFTER Samsung has been forced to pay reparations
prior to the patent validity being resolved, Samsung has no recourse to recoup
the losses, and hence Apple's wish to rush to a decision here. Therefore, the
proper course of action is to wait for the patent dust to settle before awarding
any amounts, either way.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
