A bump for Samsung in its current case against Apple, as it has won a jury instruction which counterbalances the won Apple has previously won against it. The issue is now a wash.
Quote:
Late on Sunday, Judge Lucy Koh, the federal judge presiding over the Apple v. Samsung trial in San Jose, surprisingly overruled Magistrate Judge Paul S. Grewal and entered an order that is a major breakthrough for Samsung. This reversal significantly increases the Korean company's chances of getting a verdict it can live with.
Instead of providing an adverse inference instruction only against Samsung, the court will tell the jury the same thing about both companies.
