    When it's a trade dress issue (and it is), the aspect ratio is completely irrelevant.  


    So ... since you didn't know that, you might want to scale back on calling people dumb-asses.

    I've reported both offenders and encourage others to do the same.

    When someone makes a racist remark, you don't do anyone any favours trying to make a stupid joke about it.  


    It's a serious thing.  You're not "lightening things up" or anything similar, you're making it worse.

    1. who won't be a trained expert in US law


     


    2. pointless since there is a thing called appeals. If you don't like the ruling and you think it is due to some kind of bias, you appeal and it goes to another, higher level, judge who rules on the issue of bias etc.

    Maybe, maybe not. Trade dress is based on a patent. was aspect ratio included in that patent. If it was and it was specifically the 4:3 that Apple uses then aspect ratio is relevant although only one of several issues. 


     


    If a specific aspect ratio wasn't included then yes it is likely an irrelevant detail since Apple probably worded the patent such that they would have the ability to change the ratio of their own devices and they would still be covered by the patent. 


     


    As for the dumb ass lawyer comment, it is valid. As the lawyer for one of the parties he/she should know the product enough to know that his/her client's would be longer etc due to the different aspect ratio and have been able to pick it out based on that.

    Why does that have to be the case?

    But you only get the single appeal, right? How is it handled in cases where the appeal is done on the basis of bias?

    I did as well but nothing happened so I guess they don't care about racist comments on this site. Perhaps it has something to do that some of the comments came from a Moderator which is truly sad and pathetic.

    The same as any other appeal. You argue the basis of the appeal in front of the appeals court. They generally do NOT re-hear the entire case, only the issue that is being appealed.

    If you feel that the judge is biased, you'd better have evidence. Issuing a stupid ruling is not grounds for arguing bias. Rather, you argue against the stupid rulings. About the only way you're going to win a bias issue on appeal is if the judge makes specific comments that are racist. "S/he must be racist because s/he is from Korea and s/he ruled against me" isn't going to fly.

    Insensitive or not, people can joke about and say whatever they want.

    The moderator didn't make any racist remarks. Maybe you're just trying a little too hard to find something to be offended by.

    He never made any remarks that insinuated either... His concern was that there could be bias in the case if Koh were a racist. Agree or disagree, but he has the right to his opinion, and in the real world, people make decisions based on race all the time. I suppose you're one of those people that says things like, "I so could have been born black". People like you are a threat to liberty and free speech.

    Hey Skil, by your logic, Vaughn Walker should have recused himself from the Prop 8 case due to his sexual orientation.

    Hey Skil, by your logic, Vaughn Walker should have recused himself from the Prop 8 case due to his sexual orientation.

    By the same logic, U.S. judges should recuse themselves from any international case involving a U.S. company. When you express it that way, it's even more absurd. So who's going to try international cases involving U.S. companies in U.S. courts? Should we bring in judges from other countries who are not familiar with our laws in order to avoid bias?

    Obviously, the logic is flawed. There's no reason to believe that someone is biased simply because of where their ancestors were born. If you try to argue that in front of a judge, you'd get laughed out of court. I guess it's just remotely conceivable that you might get away with arguing it if the country is the size of Monaco or one of the other tiny countries where everyone knows everyone else, but in that case, the argument would be that the judge should step down because s/he knows the defendant, not because they're from the same country.

    I asked before and never got a response: why does that have to be the case?

    Because - your argument is that a judge of Korean descent can not judge fairly in a case involving a Korean company.

    If your statement is correct, by exactly the same logic, a judge of American descent can not judge fairly in a case involving an American company.

    So in order to get a fair trial, you'd have to bring in non-American judges. And since the number of American judges can barely keep up with the caseload, it is not plausible that there will be enough foreign judges who are familiar with our laws. Furthermore, there is no mechanism for hiring foreign judges to try cases involving American companies in American courts. For that matter, it might even be unconstitutional.

    In any event, your argument that someone who has one or more Korean ancestors can not be impartial in a case involving a Korean company is bogus, It has no legal precedent and just doesn't make sense in light of the above.
