in other words, Samsung could be getting a $2.4M break

So Galaxy Tab 10.1 4G LTE -- was accused of direct infringement and inducement of D889 patent, and dilution and infringement of iPad iPad 2 trade dress that the jury's response was no. But $219k of damages was awarded. And Intercept, found no infrginement of 915 patent, but found inducement of 915 patent and awarded $2.2M in damages - Koh wants them to look at damages again.
Two words: Prior art.

You know, i don't feel so bad now. I can see the appeals going in the favor of Samsung for sure. There is no way this judgement will stand as is.
No. It's just a commodity. It works and it doesn't really matter.
Truth. Sad that only a tiny fraction of the actual Android phones in circulation are running those OS though.
Join the tribe dude...

As opposed to the Android vendors who are trying to beat their competitors over the head with standards essential patents that should be offered under FRAND terms and who should also know better about complete articles in the context of patent exhaustion.
Yeah. Fuck Apple.

If I went back to Android it'd have to be a Nexus device.

Yeah, the jury very obviously rushed through this, and made mistakes. What other mistakes have they made?

I was standing in front of a hipster the other day, he pulled out an Iphone and i laughed on the inside, true story.

People say that with every android update. Customers stuck using their slow/non updated android phone for two years may leave with a shitty impression when it's time to upgrade.
which, by the way, cost samsung a total of 1M on infringement on a patent that had prior art. Its pretty clear that nexus is the way to go
Yeah, but I want to be a unique flower.
PS: My Galaxy N7 is a pretty amazing device.
Maybe no more, odds are the lawyers will be poring over the documents.
But now they got sent back to the room with all their shit and have to mark any more problems in red. They aint done yet.
Small mistakes won't change the general consensus that Samsung ripped off Apple's design.
Are you for real?

Isn't that the darnedest thing?
If this is where it ends between Apple and Samsung, Samsung can be happy to have become the #1 smartphone vendor by ripping off iPhone for pre GS3 stuff, making massive profits from it and only having to pay 1B in damages.
Happy owner of GS1 and now GS3, but pre GS3 stuff definitely was heavily 'inspired' by iPhone. Some of the Apple patents should have been invalidated tho. At least the multitouch/pinch-to-zoom one.

That's hilarious. I saw some random guy the other day staring at some hipster pulling out an iPhone. This guy looked like a creep just standing there and staring with these weird eyes.

Why do you care what kind of phone a complete stranger is using? That is honestly one of the saddest things I have read in a long time.

Just an FYI but for everyone talking about some magical "appeal", findings of fact by juries are very rarely overturned by appellate courts.

I actually laughed a little, despite being generally pissed off. So thanks for that!
Is this really necessary?

Unless you are an appellate judge, i think i will wait in hope that this travesty is overturned quickly.

Best thread.
if thats the standard you want to hold this thread would only be 1 page
:lol okay.
Yeah, I think it's like 10-20% of the time, if Samsung is lucky they can probably get some of their phones taken off the infringement list and save some money, best case scenario is I think 500mil (out of my ass number).
But the real damage is done, software and design patents have been validated that I really don't want to be made valid.
If Apple just -sits- on this and doesn't use it to sue anyone else, damage will still be done - lot of people are going to be shitting bricks over their software now, and patent trolls (real ones) are probably going to be reinvigorated by this.

I don't even know how people can get away with saying shit like that here. Aren't calling people fanboys and flame wars against the rules?
Edit: Just read the other post, hope the guy was banned.
Don't be so angry, relax. Just campaign for a change in the patent system.

Yeah, that's one of the most worrying ones. Every smartphone in existence infringes on that, if this BS patent is held up.

Seconded. I just had the ICS upgrade pushed through earlier this week and my Droid 4 runs so much better now.
As for the case in hand, I think I agree that the patent wars will get uglier from here on out until some of these patents start getting invalidated for various reasons (being too vague, etc.) Because there is some sheer lunacy out there in the patent world.
