Judge Lucy Koh is a name many will be familiar with by now, as she has been the presiding judge in the ongoing major legal patent battle between the two tech giants, Apple and Samsung. At the back end of summer last year, Apple was judged to be owed over $1 billion in damages by Sammy, a figure which Judge Koh later stated wasn’t correct. In March, she…
Yes. Apple and Samsung’s long battle in court is still going strong, and doesn’t look like ending any time soon. The latest hearing is Samsung’s attempt to get the $1B damages award turned on its head. Apple is attempting to get the infringing devices banned completely from the US. Thankfully, Judge Koh decided that wasn’t a fair course of…
Apple and Samsung’s court case in the summer was possibly the most high profile legal battle in smartphone history. The jury decided – rather hastily – that Samsung should cough up $1 billion in damages for lost profits and royalties. Today, the two are back in court again in front of the now well-known Judge Lucy Koh. The point of this new session is…
Having had access given to it by the US court, Samsung has read through the HTC and Apple agreement in great depth, and taken the legal liberty of making it public (minus all the parts that make it a lot more interesting.) Ina Fried, possibly the one person worth following with all things Apple/Samsung and their lawsuit in particular, published an…
Apple and Samsung have moved swiftly from amicable manufacturing partners to fierce enemies in almost no time at all. It’s fair to say, that following the $1B court case in NY earlier in the year, Sammy is feeling pretty bitter against our favorite fruit company. If today’s report is anything to go by, the fued is as far from over as penguins are from…
Apple and Samsung have been in and out of court more times in the last year than I can count. They have lawsuits against each other in virtually every continent. The case that gained the biggest press was in the US, where the jury decided that Sammy owed Apple somewhere in the region of $1B damages for copying its iOS user interface in TouchWiz. There…
U.S. International Trade Commission Judge, Thomas Pender has found Samsung has infringed on four of Apple’s patents. They include patents regarding the touchscreen technology as well as a design patent. If the remaining of the 6 member Commission agrees with the judge, it could spell bad news for the Korean tech giant as it will likely face an import…
Velvin Hogan, the jury foreman during the huge Apple vs. Samsung court case has come under a lot of stick since the $1 billion decision was made. Obviously, most of the criticism comes from those siding with Android and/or Samsung. It’s understandable. Whatever your bias, the decision is a big one to have made and often he did make it sound as if he was…
In what is most likely the most damning evidence against Samsung’s copycat-ism, Apple has revealed an internal report created by the Galaxy makers that virtually proves on its own that the Korean tech giant did copy the popular iOS device. Having compared an early version of its Galaxy user interface with the iPhone, Samsung wrote a huge 132 pages…
Ever since Apple’s first allegation against Samsung, the evidence has been mounting against the Korean tech firm. Cupertino’s position was strengthened further in the US and abroad when the Galaxy Tab 10.1 was banned in both America and Germany. As you may be aware, the legal tussle has made its way to a bona fide court case. As the case goes on,…
