Latest cock-up is that it looks like they had part of their case argued by a lawyer who had not been admitted to practice in the court. |

Patents and copyrights need to have annual fees, and those fees need to adjust to reflect the cost of enforcing them. |

As long as the fees are progressive. In other words, the bigger you are, the more you pay per patent/ copyright. After all, only the big boys can afford these battles.

Following the same logic, one could say Samsung isn't even the real target for Apple, but a proxy. The real target being China, Inc. The warning: "rip us off all you want in your domestic market where we can't touch you. But try to ship that stuff in volume outside and we'll sue you to within an inch of your life." For all their propensity to take competitors to court at the slightest provocation, Apple does ignore a lot of blatant trade dress violations simply because the copiers are small and don't hit their bottom line. Samsung is simply too big a player to ignore. And even if they win in court, Samsung *has* been stung enough to fall in line. (Even their UK "win" was somewhat of a pyrrhic victory.) Unless Samsung can get the judge to invalidate Apple's design patents even a win on *their* patent claims isn't going to make up for what Apple has already achieved. And with their...odd...legal performances a full Samsung win does look unlikely right now. Out-designed, out-marketted, and out-lawyered. Ouch. |

Some people indeed prefer iOS. Just as well there those who simply see the apple logo on the back, or just want to jump on the "me too" bandwagon.
