IIRC, Steve said he would spend all of his money to stop Android. But did he
mean that to include all of Apple's money as well? The other question is whether
this was the last wish of a sane man, or deluded ramblings of a man seriously
deranged by his condition?

I'd get some serious judge points by making offers to narrow claims and locating
prior art and thus actually speeding the process.
1) In Florida, particularly, by offering to narrow the claims to what they
started out with, conditioned on Apple doing the same.
2) In front of Judge Koh, by dropping a bunch of objections to claim
construction, and simply coming up with lots of prior art...

Where the Judge said that Apple and Samsung weren't prepared to settle.
Samsung should file a list of all the lawsuits, point out that Apple started
every single one, and enclose a copy of the English judgement that forced Apple
to apologise. Then ask the Judge "what exactly are we supposed to do, if
all these lawsuits are bogus? Give in to extortion?"
Cheers,

They could offer to pay all Samsung's legal fees and
end all the litigation
on condition that Samsung keeps
the agreement secret. That sort of deal has
worked
before. Afterwards, Apple can claim that they won
because Samsung
agreed to all their demands.
I think Apple will keep this farce going
until the
money runs out. There have been plenty of articles
about Apple
having a huge pile of cash, but not paying
dividends. A different way to look
at it is that
Apple is paying dividends to law firms, but not to
investors. It
could be worse - they could spend all
their money on a UFO. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Steve Jobs started it, and he's now dead, and Apple is left with
"the cult of the dead leader". Apple's current leadership can't stop the war
without betraying Steve's dying wishes.
That's the same problem
that North Korea has, isn't it? Kim Jong-il is dead, but in the constitution he
is still the "Eternal General Secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea" and the
"Eternal Chairman of the National Defence Commission". His son Kim Jong-un is
running the country, but his dead father is still theoretically the head of
it.
So North Korea is threatening to "go nuclear" and wipe out South
Korea, while Apple is threatening to "go nuclear" and wipe out Android. Poor
Samsung! They don't know which nutter is going to try to nuke them first!
