Apple and Samsung furnish list of accused devices, patents for upcoming trial
Ahead of Apple and Samsung's two-way California patent trial, the two companies on Tuesday filed final narrowed lists of patents and products both sides are accusing the other of infringing.
As part of the slow march toward the second Apple v. Samsung patent trial to take place in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, both parties entered proposed narrowed patent claims to presiding Judge Lucy Koh.
Both Apple and Samsung were ordered to limit their respective cases to a manageable size, which Judge Koh first defined as 25 patent claims and 25 products in early 2013. As noted by FOSS Patents' Florian Mueller, the parties went through a few rounds of case narrowing since then and have successfully whittled the number of patents and accused products down to five and ten, respectively.
Samsung is actually asserting five claims from four patents after having its case pared down in January when Judge Koh invalidated an entire patent in a pre-trial summary judgment. With the extra allotment dangling, the Korean company chose to assert a second claim from one of its four patents-in-suit.
Apple, on the other hand, escaped the pre-trial phase with all five claims from five different patents intact despite attempts by Samsung to invalidate a control signals property on the grounds of prior art.
Apple's asserted patents and infringing products are as follows:

Finally, Samsung also filed a status update on an ongoing effort to invalidate Apple's '172 patent-in-suit. An ex parte, or anonymous, petition to have the property reexamined has seen progress, with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office now agreeing to take a closer look at certain aspects of the patent.
The second Apple v. Samsung court battle is scheduled to start trial proceedings on March 31.

You know, this sort of bias really doesn't paint you in a good light. I don't know which devices are infringing and some of those patents are utterly ridiculous. Carrying out a method on stored data? I'm so glad I don't have to do business in the US.

It's okay if you disagree with me.
I can't force you to be right.

You just embarass yourself. This isn't a competition for being the biggest Apple fanboy. Reality doesn't conform to your weird desires.

Your child-like assumption that anybody who has anything positive to say about Apple isn't portraying your intelligence in the best light either, my friend.
I'm not saying you're stupid. I'm just saying you have bad luck when it comes to thinking.

Yeah that sentence doesn't even make sense. I've said plenty of positive things about Apple and there remain many many positive things to talk about.
Acting as if they could never be guilty, and their competitors always must be guilty is just pointless. It means you're not interested in facts, you're just interested in cheerleading. That is embarassing.
That is the weakest burn I have ever seen.
MacBook Pro? All? No iMacs? What things that MacBook Pro can do iMac can not do?
How I embarrass myself, where I embarrass myself, and whether your mother's involved is of no concern of yours.
Both of you should probably stop.

You know, you should go find another website to ruin.
Why SAMSUNG even bother making such as list?
Don't they know that the US court system is under intense political pressure to produce an outcome favorable to the "home team" (if you can call a company which outsourced all their manufacturing to Red China and which basically pays no US taxes ,"home team").
Apple will get everything they want, and if not, Obama will step in and "set things right".
Protectionism -- with a dose of anti-Korean racism -- nothing more, nothing less.

Apple put the finger print sensor on the iPhone 5S home button. This is an invention.

I typically hate this type of immature spats, but this one is so lopsided it's rather entertaining. :-)
I couldn't agree more.
Thank you.
Do you think that I can now put on my resume "Beat the Internet."?
Yet. . .:rolleyes:
