Well on the balance of the result so far, apple must be quite upset, no ban on Samsung products also with a possible reduction in damages.

Samsung on the other hand will appeal on several issues, one being the patents used in the litigation now being declared tentatively invalid by the USPTO.

Good ole Judge Koh, played a blinder

JackClark

Such a shame they have to whine, just costs more money.

Any sensible person can see they were in the wrong.

Tidgy

so why have apple never paid out that much when they have been proved to be wrong.

double standards again eh jack

JackClark

They have on many occasions. They also payed their dues in the last Samsung Apple case. Samsung have probably spent all their money on advertising, and look at you sheep falling at Korean feet.

Tidgy

that apposed to having chinese slave labour proping you up jack?

JackClark

What slave labour? You've been sucked in again, I bet you believe all Apple customers camp outside the store on launch day, Samsung spent a ton on that one.

Tidgy

o right, so no problems with factories in china and working conditions then jack?

JackClark

Better than Samsung that's for sure.

Tidgy

so all ok as long as you get your apple products eh

JackClark

Yes. The world would be a better place if all companies employed Apple standards.

Bristol98

What, like waiting for someone else to design and make it, then "copy" and sue?

Tidgy

Here's apples manufacturing standards,,,,,,,,,,

JackClark

Because Apple own Foxconn?

Tidgy

cos apple accept the company making there stuff for them, despite continued problems.

thats apple for you though, buy cheap, sell high, larf all the way to the behamas on holiday

JackClark

That's not Apple, that's commerce.

Tidgy

so foxconn ar ethe only manufacturer in the world then, o wait, they just have the biggest margin for profit,,,, lol

JackClark

Starving people would love a Foxconn to work at.

judgejules

I think its because they are one of a few companies that have the ability to scale to the order requirements of these large corporations. Simple economics dictates that scale equates to cost reduction.

Its not rocket science... or maybe it is to some /shrug

Tidgy

guess that makes it ok then

JackClark

Unlucky Samsung ONE BILLION DOLLARS please.

apple's case is literally falling apart at the seams When it gets to the appeals supreme court, apple will be hoping that the financial penalty isn't the other way round. Samsung has still got its wireless patents.

I raise you
