Samsung guilty of patent infringement, Apple awarded nearly $1.05B [u] - Page 4

Yeah what happened to Google helping Samsung?  The kinda petered out eh?  Google let them crash and burn. 

And BOOM Goes The Dynamite!!!!

 

Rest in Peace Mr Jobs, congratulations. Huzzahh!! :) 

 

 

This suit was completely frivolous and without merit. You can't patent a rectangle. Apple, with their huge war chest, must have paid off the jury for this verdict to happen. Samsung will appeal and win.

/Sarcasm

Apple just got a $1 Billion discount on parts...nothing more.

 

So how much of it do the lawyers get?

i thouht so.. but Appleinsider post here still says "$1.05B"

HAHAHHAHA.

 

 

The android troll army will be out in force this weekend doing damage control.

Apple didn't win everything they claimed but that is not a win point for Samsung. They just didn't lose on those points. In the claims that Samsung was making against Apple they did not win a single one so my statement stands as is.

 

I saw that and was about to fix it, but the article still says "Developing". Don't worry, if they don't change it by the time it's fully written, I will. You're both correct that it's wrong.

 

 

 

Don't remind me… 

 

Not that our rules let me do anything about it…

The Verge initially reported $1.5 BN but neglected to note that was for a single award.

 

My earlier post:

 

Very happy that justice has been served. Well done Apple!

Up yours samscum!

not sure where the $2.3 billion is coming from? $1.051 billion was the total awarded; this was announced first and then broken down by device. Perhaps someone took the total, then added on the breakdown with dodgy arithmetic?

It's about time. Back when Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone, and said they patented the hell out of it, I was shocked to see the Android phones with a slide to unlock, and was wondering when Apple might take them to task. I didn't know it might take 5 years, but glad it's come to this, and Google and their partners can finally stop being evil, if even forced.

 

 

People act as if it should take a long time to decide this matter. The Jury has been living the case for weeks now. They had a questionnaire in which everything was laid our them. Moreover, it is obvious Samsung ripped Apple off. Further, Samsung is still ripping Apple off. Just look at the new Samsung stores. It can't pick a shirt other then blue for their employees? 

What you SAID was "Sammy has literally not scored a single point."

That is, as I pointed out, incorrect. Your attempts to change the meaning of your statement notwithstanding, of course.

Oh, yeah. You're going to blame it on language problems. I forgot. /s

The thermonuclear war against Android has just begun.

So is that $1 billion total or $333 million x 3 for wilful infringement? Remember, wilfully infringing means the damages are tripled. So is Samsung paying $1 billion or will it be changed to $3 billion to reflect the wilful part?

What was it ?

 

No, sir. That's just for the Tab 10.1. Here's a partial list.

 

 

 

 

 

The iPad's "rounded rectangle" patent.

A message to Samsung.

 

Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah.................

My guess is not bloody much. All Samedung did with their blatant copying was turn me from a potential tv customer into one who will always boycott their products. Sony, Sharp, and Philips have some equal if not better models anyway.

That is what was reported as the judge read the verdict.

If AI was the only one reporting $1.05 B, I wouldn't take it too seriously, but most of the other sites are also reporting $1.05 B. I guess it will take a while for the dust to settle. It could be that $1.05 B is only against one of the 3 Samsung entities and the total is $2.3 B. Or maybe the numbers were reported wrong. Who knows?


ETA:
CNET is now reporting a clarification that the damages were $1.051 B. I wonder why - when all the individual damages add up to $2.3 B.

In the end, though, it won't matter. The money won't mean much to Apple. The fact that they won so many of their claims and had their patents upheld is far more important in the long run.

Victory at last! Justice was made!

I have had such a shitty week, but this managed to put a smile on my face :)

 

(Have legal wranglings of my own)

Looks like the numbers being reported each may have been what Apple wanted... that would total 2.5 billion, and not the actual award amounts.

[b]Apple has done it -- it's quite literally dealt a death blow to the biggest Android phonemaker's U.S. sales.[/b]

Soon, bans will be announced and Samesung will find that many of it's devices will not be allowed to be sold anymore, unless they make massive changes, which could cost many times the amount of damages awarded.

 

 

If they are found not guilty of a claim against them, they don't win anything. They are just not guilty. As I said Samsung won nothing, nada, nil, zilch!

It is a great day for a US company.  I LOVE IT!

 

I am a US expat living in China for 5+ years.  Local manufacturers in Asia throughout will copy anything without considering intellectual rights.  To them there is no right or wrong, only money in the pocket!  Copying is most wide spread in the fashion industry as there is few patents.  For that reason I never understand why most readers would support Samsung, a foreign conglomerate whose Chairman was once jailed for bribing the Korean President.

Great day for justice and innovation.

 

I doubted the jury would get this right.

I'm very VERY happy to be wrong.

 

Congrats to the American judicial system, and congrats to Apple.

 

As the late Steve Jobs would say, "Boom!"

"Apple vs. Samsung Case Done"

"developing"

 

im so funny...........

its hard to tell if the $1,05B was the total and then they itemised that, or the other figures were in addition.

 

Its chump change anyway, more important would be costs per device going forward.

BOOM

And a precedent has been set. Message sent. 

 

ALL THE HATERS CAN NOW STFU. Seriously. Apple's justified position was crystal clear from Day 1 in this entire affair. Samsung's thievery was also clear the entire time. 

They follow Apple claims, I presume

That's not what you said. You said that Samsung didn't win a single point. In fact, they did. They won a number of points.

Hey I think I'll write a big hit song called Imagine or Happy Birthday or Hound Dog. You can't patent letters of the alphabet.

No, the Cnet liveblog was wrong and has now corrected itself. The total is $1.051 billion

wasn't the only claim aganist the tablets the D'889 patent? I thought they ruled that it didn't infringe on that one
