“Apple Inc. objected to the possibility that proceedings in a patent lawsuit against Samsung Electronics Co. scheduled for trial in 2014 will be put on hold while an appeals court reviews an August verdict in an earlier case,” Joel Rosenblatt reports for Bloomberg. “The objection, filed yesterday in federal court in San Jose, California, was in response to U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh’s inquiry at a hearing last month. The judge said she was skeptical of the need for both cases to proceed, especially while the first case is being appealed.
“On March 1 Koh reduced a jury’s $1.05 billion damages award to Apple in the first case by $450.5 million. The jury based its award for 14 Samsung products on an incorrect legal theory, Koh ruled. She said the companies should consider appealing her decision before any damages trial begins,” Rosenblatt reports. “‘This case must proceed now, in order to stop the ongoing sales — and relentless launch — of Samsung’s latest infringing devices, which have caused, and every day continue to cause, continuing harm to Apple,’ the Cupertino, California-based company said in the filing.”

MacDailyNews Take: Well, obviously, but then how will Koh be able to continue denying justice by continually delaying it?
Dear “Legal Systems” of the World,
It’s 2013, six years after Steve Jobs pulled iPhone and all of its patents out of his jeans pocket, and you’re still “adjudicating,” you tedious failures.
Why should anyone bother inventing and patenting anything?
With the utmost sincerely, you suck.
Sincerely,
Timely Justice
