Apple vs Samsung, court orders Samsung to show Apple 5 new phones

[Glaucus]

playing the patent game really does pay off!!

Of course it does and always have.

Still an insane amount.

I'll reserve judgment on anything till I've seen a proper analysis breakdown. Patent numbers mean nothing on their own.

What a surprise a clean sweep for Apple - good old America.

 

[LizardKing]

Suffice to say, Samsung's legal team cannot be happy right now.

Sums it up really!

 

[Glaucus]

I think that's an understatement.

"Samsung legal team can't be happy at the moment"

Apple copied multitouch from earlier designs - Microsoft Surface for one.

Completely off the top of my head, I'm exhausted.
Multi touch was around before the surface was announced wasn't it?

 

[LizardKing]

in the words of Team America

"America **** yeh!!"

No one could have expected Samsung to win but thats just crazy!

 

[Glaucus]

So is that all apple damges done now? As they filed for 2.5billion.

Samsung only filled for 519mil. So even if it won all, it would still have a 1billion bill.

This **** is cray!

Joke of a ruling joke of a jury Samsung will appeal but to be honest they will never get anywhere might as well pull out of the US. and give the middle finger. See how much the American public like limited options.

 

[MissChief]

Jury will be enjoying iphone 5's, new ipads and Macbook Air's for a while I think.

 

[Fallen god]

Got to feel a bit for Samsung, all their hardwork seems to have been for almost nothing.

 

[Martini1991]

Damages owed by Samsung:
* 1.05 billion and counting

Is what I'm reading on CNet.

Damages awarded are minuscule compared to the damage to the Samsung brand and the money they'll lose when most of their products are removed from the shelves. Nothing stopping Apple going after the SG3 as well now.

 

[Azza]

Anyone have a rough idea of how much Samsung make from producing / supplying iPhone parts?

They make $3-4 Billion a quarter on their own phone sales I believe.

Surely the SG3 looks nothing like an Apple product.

I oh so love these comment.

You not even understand what has been awarded, defended, overturned. Until we et an analysis of what each patent was and how the offending phones used the patented stuff it's very hard to tell.

A lot of the phones apple said were infringing we're found not to be.

 

[Glaucus]

It totaly depends on wht patents were broke and upheld. We need more information, which won't be out until at least tomorrow.

Pinch to zoom and tap to zoom will have to be removed or they'll be taken off the shelf. Now idea how this effects Google because those two features are in all of their phones.

How these features were not made invalid after the evidence Samsung brought it is a bit crazy.
