You are right
yet I assume that PIPER had implied
that Koreans manufacturing companies
are the clone masters.

oh yes, rectangles with specific round corners and silver rims are now officially Apples property – lol

ofc not – it was a case where APPLE proved that SAMSUNG deliberately imitated the look and feel of Apples devices in order to confuse the consumers. Hence in simple terms; copied.

Yes they are. In addition to manufacturing lots of steel and aluminum parts, they are big in heavy construction equipment that, interestingly, looks quite a bit like Caterpillar equipment.

Samsung is not in the car business

Home field advantage? LOL!

The Judge was of Korean decent and one of the Jurors, the Foreman, was a patent holder who knew his way around patents.

Samsun’s whole case was bullshit and now everyone, except Fandroids, knows it.

Apple Inc. nailed its landmark victory over Samsung Electronics Co. last week by distilling a complex tussle over patents into a clear story line

That’s Apple’s specialty — making the complex intuitive.

I have read so many fandroids claiming that Apple won due to “home field advantage”. WTF??? Do these idiots really think this is a game???

not really- they bought kinect tech, stole their windows UI, even Xbox was built using old Macintosh chipsets.

Hey Samsung, does this court victory mean Apple does own the rights to rectangles and squares?

Apple wining over Samsung is good news for those of us who use their technology. In the Pharmaceutical Drug industry, there are brand name drugs that a sponsoring drug company invested a billion dollars in and brought it to market via the decade long IND process. For example, Pfizer studied Sildenafil and after a decade and a billion dollars they brought Viagra to the market to treat ED. They are subsequently awarded a period of “exclusivity” where generic drug companies are not allowed to “copy” Sildenafil. Someday, generic Viagra will become available. When it does, everyone will still desire brand name Viagra but will strongly consider generic Sildenafil as after all, maybe the erection will be good enough to make it cost effective.

In a similar manner, Apple deserves a reward for inventing the technology that Samsung so slavishly copied. The question may be for how long does it deserve exclusivity and patent protection? Drugs like Viagra get about a decade on the average. The song, “Happy Birthday,” receives royalties in perpetuity generations after its original writer is dead and gone. So every time you hear Happy Birthday on TV, someone is receiving a check.

Some time between Viagra and Happy Birthday should be fair for Apple.

Money for old rope. A fool could have represented apple and won this case. Love how the media are representing Apple as a bulky over this clear moral victory.

I’ve never seen anything Samdung has ever created that isn’t an exact copy of something else. They copy everything and it’s not just apple. Look at their cars Hyundai and Kia, they are exact copies of others. All of their electronics were exact copies of others and they are masters of disecting others inventions and innovations and selling knock-offs.
Someone please tell me something they actually invented beside a new way to steal.
