But, there's a pretty fair amount of issues with management..as evidenced by Alsup
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, September 25 2012 @ 02:04 AM EDT
That Judge Alsup wisely broke the Oracle/Google trial into phases.

Judge Koh, unfortunately, did not...IMHO, she should have had the following
phases:
1) Validity of all patents and all trade dress in suit (possibly broken into
Samsung's first, then Apples)
2) Infringement of said patents/trade dress
3) Damages of any infringement found.

If you will notice, there was no phase 3 for Judge Alsup. In my opinion(as
inventor on 2 patents), not one of the patents in this trial should ever have
issued on either side on obviousness grounds. So there's a bias towards
validity of obvious patents, which is very much against the public interest.
Amicus, anyone?

There's also a dozen or more phones involved. That's nuts, parties should have
been forced to narrow it to no more than three.

The time management of translated testimony is also at issue, as is the frankly
prejudicial unavailability of Apple designer Nishibori for deposition by
Samsung.

Please define "late" ...
Authored by: Wol on Tuesday, September 25 2012 @ 08:58 AM EDT
It seems (dunno if it was this particular instance) Apple brought in a load of
NEW evidence in discovery a couple of hours before the deadline.

It took Samsung *one* *day* to respond. The response was ruled out because it
was late.

imho that's "trial by ambush" which isn't supposed to happen...

Cheers,
Wol

It's the pattern of behavior
Authored by: cjk fossman on Tuesday, September 25 2012 @ 09:48 AM EDT
She made a number of decisions that were excessively
prejudicial to Samsung.

- spoliation of evidence
- prior art 1 day late
- etc.
