In design patent law, we got #CurviSil:
- Curver: www.cafc.uscourts.gov/9-12-2019-18...
- SurgiSil: www.cafc.uscourts.gov/10-04-2021-2...
And while SCOTUS' decision in #appsung leaves a lot to be desired, at least it rejected the Federal Circuit's read of § 289: www.oyez.org/cases/2016/1...
With something for both sides in Fed Cir opinion, maybe now parties will settle #appsung.
Samsung atty states that #appsung is “last straw” that shows that Apple can no longer “cripple Android.” http://cnet.co/1nmPBvM
Great overview by @sharatibken of Apple v. Samsung patent trial. http://cnet.co/1niGZWX via @CNET #appsung
#appsung jury not trying to send message. Very different from "not just slap on wrist," "sufficiently high to be painful" first jury.
.@daiwaka in @WSJ: Apple win in #appsung not hurt Samsung/Google; I say days of Apple knockout win in court behind us http://on.wsj.com/1kBVgaS
Samsung won b/c: 1. In weeds (not innovate vs copy), 2. Google blunts foreign factor; 3. Focus on dams, not infr (not imp to phone) #appsung
Minor tweak Mon.; still Samsung win in #appsung (only 1/2 Apple patents infringed, 1 Samsung patent infringed); dams close to Samsung goal
Timing of jury verdict in #appsung shows power of seemingly self-imposed Friday afternoon deadline. #MustEnjoyWeekend
Why Samsung won: 1. In weeds (not innovate vs copy), 2. Google blunts foreign factor; 3. Focus on dams, not infr (not imp to phone) #appsung
Verdict in #appsung = Samsung win (only 1/2 Apple patents infringed, 1 Samsung patent infringed); Damages far closer to Samsung estimate
Busy 2 days for #patents: Sup Ct hears about definite claims & decides atty fees; EC condemns injunctions on #SEPs; #appsung closings
.@sharatibken explores effect of Fed Cir Apple/Motorola ruling on "quick links" patent for #appsung http://cnet.co/1nO96uj
Week 3 in #appsung: Samsung says Apple patents invalid & not reason for its success; still no talk of Samsung patents.
Indeed! MT via @Swiftstories Apple's X establishes Samsung has not yet offered any estimate of what its patent features worth. #appsung
Week 2 in #appsung: Still in weeds; damages (not infringement) focus; iPhone bought b/c/o patents (A says) or brand/OS (S says)
Samsung wants to discuss Motorola paying Apple .60/phone, just a little(!) less than the $12.49/phone Apple demanding from Samsung. #appsung
My thoughts on #appsung case so far - damages, juries, litigation. @BloombergLaw interview starts at 7:00. http://bit.ly/1lTCGAX #iCourt
WSJ's @daiwaka explains why Apple seeks $2.2 billion in damages (claims infringement as market expands) http://on.wsj.com/1g7il3L #appsung
And minutiae also don't support themes from 1st trial of Apple as revolutionary innovator and Samsung as flagrant copyist. #appsung #iCourt
The more time spent in the minutiae, the less a huge damages award or injunction for Apple seems appropriate. #appsung #iCourt
Week 1 in #appsung differs from 1st case: Apple not clearly winning on themes; Samsung showing Apple's patents not central. #iCourt
Docs in #appsung on Apple's "Holy War" w/Google and concern re: "hanging onto old paradigm too long." http://bit.ly/1mB8mYZ
In #appsung in #iCourt, @fosspatents presents array of concerns w/slide-to-unlock patent, rejected in 3 countries. http://bit.ly/1kt7xQt
Why Google matters in #appsung: (1) Counter “Apple as innovator," (2) Replace foreign party w/local, (3) War w/Google, not license w/Samsung
Good piece by @Forbes's @robhof on #appsung patents “more incremental and less obviously unique" than look/feel of iPhones from last suit.
With low-tech jury (& no foreman w/own notions of patent law), opening statements in #appsung case in #iCourt will be crucial to set stage.
Good article on 1st day of #appsung in #icourt by @mendozamartha of @ap; I comment on potential effects on innovation http://bit.ly/1jSkCqG
Good recap. MT @sharatibken What happened in #icourt #appsung: Tech novices determine Apple v. Samsung http://cnet.co/1hWz2z3 via @CNET
