Apple asks the judge [PDF], the Hon. Lucy Koh, to correct her
math in her March 1st order, saying she used the wrong date when granting
Samsung's motion for a new trial on damages with respect to two products. Apple
says the parties had reached a stipulation on the date the two were first sold,
and that date is not the date the judge used.
Just out of
curiosity, if the parties to a lawsuit stipulate about something related to the
lawsuit, is the judge required to honor that stipulation? [ Reply to This | # ]

What impact would it have were Samsung to point out that Apple were clearly
asking for a miscarriage of justice ... ?

Judge:
Will you, Apple, abide by the ruling of my
findings?
Apple:
If you find more then $1 per device,
Nope!
For those unware of the above situation, this occurred in the
Wisconsin lawsuit Apple
initiated to ask the Court to "set a fair license fee for SEPs". To quote
the Judges ruling:
It added, however, that it would be willing to
pay a rate of no more than $1 for each Apple device going forward, while it
retained the right to appeal any award higher than $1, as well as to refuse
any such rate and proceed to further infringement
litigation.
Perhaps it should have been evident earlier
in the case that Apple was seeking only a ceiling on the potential license rate
that it could use for negotiating purposes, but it was not. This became clear
only when Apple informed the court in its October 31 response that it did not
intend to be bound by any rate that the court determined.
Ahh -
dismissal with prejudice. Justly deserved.

Hope the US Patent Office has enough liability insurance to cover all losses
when a company gets sued and looses big on a patent that never should have been
granted.
Sort of points to the US Government being responsible for covering all fines /
fees / awards when these come to trial.
Perhaps there should be a "turbo-charged re-validation" of every
patent before any patent trial can be held to validate that the patent is valid,
then post bond for any amounts that might be sought in case the patent turns out
to be invalid and the lawsuit was allowed to progress.

If someone told me that their crown jewels were being re-
evaluated and it could take up to 32 months, i would totally
put the case on a 32 month stay until the completion of said
evaluation.
Thats 32 months where the two parties could come to their
senses and agree to a settlement. Meanwhile I could go on to
trying other cases. Talk about Efficiencies!

While Apple and Samsung are playing Tweedledum and Tweedledee, who's watching
their backs? PJ thinks this
Taiwan news story puts the
Foxconn MS patent license in perspective.
While the
pots and
kettles are calling each other black, there's a sleeping giant on their
doorstep. With the allocation of 4G
spectrum China Mobile can start to forget
its unfortunate experiment with TD-SCDMA, and domestic handset makers
already
providing WCDMA for China Unicom are starting to expand their markets. e.g. Jiayu and Oppo

I think Samsung should agree to a re-trial on the following conditions:
1. For each patent found invalid by the USPO, Apple will be required to pay
Samsung twice the amount awarded by the jury for that patent.
2. For each patent found invalid by the USPO, Apple will be required to pay
Samsung all reasonable attorneys' fees regarding that patent from the start of
this litigation.
3. If all patents are ultimately found to be invalid, Apple will pay the court
a fine of 10% of gross earnings for the 2013 fiscal year for wasting the court's
time.

Human systems usually get fixed when it has been demonstrated that the
systems have been badly broken and are not delivering the desired results.
This case may end up being one of those cited when the Patent system is
eventually reformed.
It has all the elements, along with the case
here RIM was forced to pay
$600 Million for patents that were later
invalidated.

I rather think that the most rational course of action for the judge would be to
punt everything until the USPTO circus folds its tent (and possibly until the
appeals court decides whether to nuke the jury verdict altogether). It's
shocking that a litigant would, in effect, expressly state that they wanted
"sentence first, verdict afterwards" in the form of setting damages
for infringing patents that have been found invalid.
A judge with a sense of fairness must surely be inclined to let the patent
situation clarify itself before going ahead with a retrial based on a flawed
jury verdict like this one, to say nothing of the fact that said verdict is
likely to be vacated on appeal.

How can it be appropriate for any kind of trial to occur over a patent that the
PTO has ruled invalid? Sure, Apple can appeal. Maybe the patent will be
reinstated. Maybe it won't.
How is their current situation with the invalidated patent any different from
someone who has a patent pending? You can't sue someone for infringing a patent
that has yet to be issued, can you? How can there be a trial for damages for an
invalid patent?

I think it would be more accurate to say that the FOREMAN (i.e., _he_, not they)
wanted to "send a message", and he bullied the rest of the jury into
allowing this to happen.[ Reply to This | # ]

I don't understand why these companies aren't simply saying
"Software is not Patent Eligible, all your patents are
invalid." It's like no one likes what's going on but they
won't change because no one will give up their own patent
weapons. Someone needs to grow up and say "All software
patents are invalid, including mine!"[ Reply to This | # ]

I'm getting really sick and tired of this mess. I know you don't want this
to be a political site. But there are a bunch of really bad laws, and the
lawmakers have no interest in fixing them. The only way I can see to fix
the problem is to change the lawmakers. There is an election in about
a year and a half. Do something about it![ Reply to This | # ]

"Fairness and justice isn't on the Apple table in these filings, not by my
lights. I read all this and feel like I need a shower to wash the ick off. I
only wish Apple felt the same way."
Wow, I wish you were more outraged over real problems than trivial squabbles
between large corporations.
How do you feel about Congress latest inability to pass gun reform because
lobbyists have more influence than voters?
How do you feel about Keystone pipeline and eminent domain being used to steel
land from homeowners on behalf of a foreign corporation?
How do you feel about the DOJ's inability to prosecute large banks like HSBC for
committing crimes like money laundering for drug cartels, because doing so would
upset the our economy.
The squabble between Apple and Samsung is a trifle.
