“Samsung just brought a motion for a court order to ‘to label joint exhibit devices in a manner not obscuring trade dress,'” Florian Mueller reports.
“Apple apparently has custody over those joint exhibit devices, most of which are Samsung devices,” Mueller reports. “According to Samsung’s representation, Apple just recently attached large exhibit labels to the backside of those devices. Samsung also showed an email from Michael Jacobs of Morrison & Foerster, in which he told Samsung’s counsel that Apple ‘will not agree to anything other than full exhibit labels’ and reiterated his belief that ‘[t]he jury will not be confused.'”
Mueller reports, “If you look at the pictures, you can see that Apple placed stickers only on regions that don’t contain any distinctive elements… Apple didn’t attach stickers that would hide any design element. Samsung’s motion uses the word “obscure” countless time, but where there is nothing, nothing can be obscured.”

Samsung’s attorneys seem to be at a loss for valid arguments. Good news!
Yeah, these Korean asswipes are grasping for, well,…anything!
Those lawyers are American asswipes.
Desperation seems to be the only thing Samsung has left.
The inevitable noose is tightening. Hang ’em high Apple! The weight of evidence will snap their scrawny slavish necks.
Samsung is complaining about their lies are obscured. The truth is really biting them in the arse! LOL
I picture the Samsung Lawyer falling from an airplane, pulling the chute to only find straws. He flails desparately trying to grasp them, as if, holding them will help him survive the fall.
I will be estatic if Samsung smashes into the ground.
Does Samsung’s lawyers get payed to act like children? Every other article on MDN is about some childish behaviour by Samsung.
Yeah, the trial stories are boring. C’mon MDN, give em a rest. Move on to real stories. Enough already!
“Apple placed stickers only on regions that don’t contain any distinctive elements”
And where would that be? in the CPU? I wonder since Sammy phones and tables looks almost exactly as an iPhone or iPad.
The Samsung phones all have removable doors? to the removable battery bay. Apple doesn’t. See they are different.
What? Apple covered them up! This is outrageous!
These samsung clowns are even worse than those idiots at RIMM.
If I were a lawyer at Morrison Foster, I’d change my name to Bad, so my email address would be bad@mofo.com, and then resend the letter to samsung.
Seems like a large label will make it look LESS like an iPhone… 🙂 These Samsung lawyers are pretty desperate, and look like a bunch of clowns.
