It ain't over till it's over, especially in the civil courts when deep pockets are involved.
If you go back to my original statements, I presented a wide variety of potential reasons for the verdict to be overturned or drastically reduced. Since you can't recall them so well, let me enumerate them once again:
1) The trial judge could overturn the verdict based on the misconduct of the jury foreman
2) The trial judge could reduce the verdict based on jury errors
3) The case could be overturned at the appeals court level.
4) The case could go to the Supreme Court if Samsung is not successful at the appeals court.
In addition, I would think the
recent invalidation of a couple of key Apple patents may ultimately put a serious crimp in the verdict if they are not reinstated.
Plus there may be other ways Samsung lawyers are attempting to have the verdict overturned/decreased.
So far only #1 has failed ... there is still a long long long way to go. Samsung may yet have the last laugh!
