Patents also ensure that multiple solutions are tried, and when the patents expire the best are universally adopted. |

The "restricting consumer choice" claim is a bit of a canard anyway...patents are *supposed to* prevent knock-offs which, of course, does prevent consumer choice by restricting the right to sell the product to the patent holder. |

Even as recently as the 50's yokes were tried. Modern steering wheels are a result of decades of incremental refinements. Plus, it costs money to develop good solutions so patents give a *temporary* monopoly to the inventor to benefit from their development before it enters the public domain and the common heritage of humanity. One thing being ignored in all the handwringing over the verdict is that the smartphone industry isn't just Apple and Samsung. There are other players in the business who played by the rules and didn't copy Apple designs. So Samsung's shortcuts not only saved Samsung from having to develop their own legal solutions, it allowed them to undercut companies like HP, Nokia, and RIM that spent good money trying to do the right thing and compete fairly. Maybe the folks that think that even at $1billion Samsung is coming out ahead are right...? Last edited by fjtorres; 08-25-2012 at 07:52 PM. |

Apparently the jury decided Samsung was guilty the first day of the trial. Samsung only started presenting their evidence the 2nd week.

Not all evidence is created equal. Apparently the jury found the Samsung memo and the Google email compelling evidence that Samsung set out to copy Apple and persisted after Google told them to change.
As the NBC report (above) said: Apple had the easier case to present and they went first. Samsung had the harder job: erase the scenario Apple had painted and replace it with a more believable one. Next step is to see what the Judge does. (Treble damages is one option, banning Samsing products another, more exist.) After that, it'll be up to the appeals court. |
