“In its response to Apple’s effort to win a permanent injunction in the United States against many Samsung products over multiple intellectual property rights, Samsung argues that the sales ban sought by Apple — and denied by Judge Koh in December despite a multiplicity of infringement findings by a California jury in August 2012 — ‘would not stop any ongoing infringement, for Samsung has either discontinued the accused products or designed around any infringing features in the ones it still sells,'” Florian Müller writes for FOSS Patents.
“Alluding to letters a law firm sent on Apple’s behalf to various U.S. retailers in connection with a preliminary injunction grnated last year, Samsung claims that ‘the only effect of an injunction would be to confuse and intimidate Samsung’s carriers and retailers with respect to non-accused products never adjudicated in this case, harming Samsung’s longstanding market relationships,'” Müller writes. “Samsung seeks affirmance of Judge Koh’s holding that Apple failed to establish a causal nexus between the infringements identified and the harm it alleges to suffer from Samsung’s competing products.”

Die Samsung!
The peal is off Apple already.
The sliced Apple had no worm.
The seeds fell out.
The rebirth of Flat UI will exterminate the competition.
I guess the wurm ate the peal…
I guess neither of you know how to spell “peel.”
Desperate Demagoguery.
your specialty.
Of course it would. And it surely should.
Isn’t what it’s supposed to do? That’s what you get for stealing technology!
Yes, we’re still copying, but these new copies are not the old copies.
How dare you attack our new copies.
Hmmm. I’m neither confused nor intimidated regarding this criminal copycat enterprise and their knock-off products, so laissez les bons temps rouler!
Never underestimate the stupidity and dated knowledge of Lucy Koh.
I want to see her Swiss bank accounts before I would call her stupid
Translation from slimespeak:
“We’ve already made all the money we can in the USA from everything we stole from Apple, but we’re afraid that letting everyone know that we really DID steal all that stuff would affect the reputation of the products we’re selling with that OTHER stuff we stole from Apple. We got away with it the first time, so consistent treatment DEMANDS that you let us get away with it this time.”
So… Samsung is saying that people are stupid. Is that really the message they want to send? Guess so.
Who better to fear the consequences of FUD!!! How ironic… does it feel like the tide has turned???
Just reading the legal mumbo-jumbo in the article confused me!
From the article:
In footnote 1 of its brief, Samsung points to various commentary in the media that doubted the value of Apple’s asserted patents blahblahblah
An appeal to the court of public opinion. All they care about is PR. I hate Samsung.
For Samsung to improve PR, it should re-think it’s customer service, products shelf life and upgradability.
Just like the criminal who gets caught, and blames the legal system. FOLLOW THE LAW/RULES AND YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT SAMDUNG.
“harming Samsung’s longstanding market relationships,”
You mean like you did to Apple’s core business when you copied the iPhone whole hog?
Losers.
Confuse like, say, having paid individual’s to send glowing tweets about a phone other than the one that the person(s) is actually using?
Intimidate as in using the court system to push frand infringement for the end goal of keeping competation at bay while they photocopy the next product?
Ummmm, sounds vaguely familiar?
In the article it provides a footnote where Samsung listed a number of media reports that questioned the value of Apple’s patents.
This makes me wonder if about a situation where Samsung continues to put so much emphasis on what the media says. I’m wondering if by doing this, it provides Apple an opportunity at some point to petition the court to compel Samsung to reveal how much money to the media (and in particular to whom) Samsung is paying?
They has it coming I guess.
As if customers aren’t confused by fake iPhones. LOL!
