Apple has won. They now have the patent. This is a good news for everybody who loves Apple products and bad for Samsung fanatics.

And what is really important is: can Apple come up with new things in the future? What does it matter for Apple fans that a court has ruled that 1-2 years ago Samsung have been bad boys and brought some products to market that were deemed very similar to Apple's? The current crop of competitive products certainly does not fall under that ruling -- they have moved far ahead of Apple's offerings. These days, who in his right mind would copy the iPhone anymore (except some local Chinese companies)? In the end, now if Apple comes up with a bigger screen, NFC, and LTE for iPhone 5, shouldn't they be sued for copying on the basis of this ruling? |

Wait, doesn't Motorola have a design patent on "Bigger Screens?"

It's bad news for anyone who likes tech devices. Patents are way out of control. I have quite a few apple devices and much prefer the iPhone/iPad over the android devices, but these fights should be in the court of consumer demand, not in a court of law.

And the juror also appears to completely miss the point that if the prior art evidence was pursued and found to invalidate the patent, then it was irrelevant whether Samsung infringed. Graham |

The juror appears to be saying that they found the prior art stuff a bit too complex so skipped it and concentrated on the infringement. If they did do this then they completely missed the point on the trade dress issue. Graham |
