“Get your legal scorecard ready,” Chris O’Brien reports for The Los Angeles Times. “You’re going to need it Friday to keep track of all of Apple’s legal maneuverings.”
“By total coincidence, the tech giant faces three big legal events,” O’Brien reports. “None of them will offer any definitive conclusions to the underlying cases. But taken together, it’s a reminder of just how much time and resources big tech companies like Apple spend on litigation.”
O’Brien reports, “And in the case of Apple and Samsung, it’s part of the larger trench warfare to claim the mantle as the true innovator while tagging the other as a copycat.”

Name one piece of hardware that Apple copied from Samsung.
I really don’t think there is any question of who copied who only did Samsung copy exact enough to be found guilty. Anyone with eyes would say yes but as you know justice is blind.
It may be easier to buy their sources of parts or materials. If you take down their manufacturing, you get their attention. They are in a lot of industries. Apple’s petty cash could take them down.
why not BUY out Samsung… Apple owning Samsung and its line of phones too. Boooo haaa ha haaa – ok wake up – thats just a dream.
Keep that veto pen handy, Mr. President. We may need you again.
Apple came to Samsung to partner in the production of a phone…
Samsung, later after at least a year, took Googles freely distributed Android and purposely confused consumers of a cheaper iPhone. The look and feel was not copied by any other company as did Samsung. Google contracts Samsung to produce its Nexus line of Tablets and Phones.
Apple even offered Samsung an Exclusive Deal and use of iOS but Samsung declined.
The fact that Samsung looks to deploy its own OS soon suggests that the company is guilty – if not it would stay using Android.
Without Android, no company would have been able to compete so easily with Apple. The Truth in Apples statement that Software and Hardware are the uniting innovation for the iPhone success – is a very important comment. And the strategy to attack Samsung first – rather than Google — Samsung the biggest supplier and hottest competitor has been a wise but painful one… yet it will pay off. And hence the beginning of the death for Android. Soon as Samsung bails, the user base and none-upgradable S3 and S4 handsets will have Samsung users very upset and possibly flee to Apple.
Google copied iOS.
Samsung copied iPhone.
The two companies STABBED Apple in the back – they will pay dearly.
Not sure if they will ever pay for their treachery but one can always hope.
Yes, they must pay for the crimes that they committed.
It was HUGE damaged for Apple. I suspected that ShamedShung paid the journalists and social media bashing Apple which portrait Apple as evil.
Will Apple drop if a Apple can’t ken the case tonight ?
I mean will Apple drop if Apple can’t win the case tonight ?
