Just as we expected, shortly after the jury handed down its verdict today, Judge Lucy Koh set a date for a preliminary injunction hearing. Apple has already won — some one billion dollars in damages — but now it's looking for sales bans.
The hearing is set for September 20th. And considering that the jury found several of Samsung's handsets, and two of its tablets, to be infringing on Apple's patents, it's very possible that we could see some products banned from the US...
Late this afternoon, the jury handed down a verdict in the US-based Apple vs Samsung trial. Samsung was found guilty of willfully infringing on several of Apple's patents, and will be forced to pay major damages.
Both companies have since released statements on the ruling. Apple, of course, is thrilled with the outcome, while Samsung says that it's a loss for the American consumer. And now, here's Tim Cook's response...
In case you've missed it this afternoon, the jury handed down a verdict in the Apple vs. Samsung trial. Samsung was found guilty of infringing on a number of Apple's feature and design patents, and has been asked to pay over $1 billion in damages.
Apple, on the other hand, was cleared of all of Samsung's infringement charges, and won't be forced to pay any kind of settlement. And now that both companies have had a chance to review the jury's decisions, they've released their statements...
The ongoing legal battle between the world's two largest phone manufacturers isn't anything new. For over a year now, both companies have been fighting on the marketplace, but also in the courtroom.
But things have been seriously heating up the last couple weeks with what is probably the most watched trial ever in the tech world, as both Samsung and Apple accuse each other of patent infringement.
And after 21 hours of deliberation, the jury has finally reached a decision...
This is pretty big: while the tech world awaits the verdict in the Apple vs. Samsung trial here in the US, a South Korea court has just ruled that both companies infringed on each other's patents.
What does that mean in terms of consequences? Well, each side has been ordered to pay damages, and both have been hit with injunctions to ban the sales of their infringing products in the country....
It's been a long few weeks, but the high-profile trial between Apple and Samsung is finally starting to wind down. Yesterday's peace talks between CEOs failed to yield any results, so tomorrow, the case will get handed to the jury.
Attorneys used their last day in court today to make their closing arguments and rebuttals. And while both parties made some compelling comments, it seemed like Samsung's side made the more memorable impression...
If the long-running courtroom battle between Apple and Samsung were a football game, the South Korean company would have received today a favorable call from the ref. U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh will tell jurors later this week that both companies destroyed emails, overturning a previous ruling inferring Samsung was solely to blame.
In instructions to be given the jury set to begin deliberations Wednesday, Koh will give identical instructions regarding company emails destroyed:
Both companies "failed to preserve evidence" that could be used in the litigation, Koh will say. "Whether this fact is important to you in reaching a verdict in this case is for you to decide."
The high-profile patent trial between Apple and Samsung has exposed some pretty interesting intel on both companies. But the information brought to light tonight might be the best yet.
According to some new court filings, executives from the two tech heavyweights met in hopes of reaching a settlement back in 2010. And Apple actually offered Samsung a licensing deal...
Apple's high-profile patent trial with Samsung kicked off this week in a northern California courtroom. And in the 5 short days, it's already yielded some pretty interesting information.
We've seen early prototype designs, of both the iPhone and the iPad, and have learned some other previously-secret stuff about the company. And today, we find out about the iCar...
The highly-anticpiated patent trial between Apple and Samsung is set to kick off tomorrow in a US District court in northern California. And even if you're not interested in all of the patent-talk, there are still several reasons to look forward to the litigation.
The court-ordered revelation of early iPhone and iPad prototype designs, for example, is particularly exciting. Apple has kept information regarding the development of its two most popular products extremely close to the vest over the past ten years. And this trial will force the company to finally reveal at least some of those secrets...
Last week, Tim Cook met with top executives from Samsung Electronics to discuss the ongoing patent dispute between the two companies. The meeting was court-ordered, in a last-ditch effort to get the smartphone-makers to settle their differences ahead of next week's trial.
Unsurprisingly, the talks didn't go very well. A new report is out this afternoon claiming that the companies disagreed on "the value of each other's patents," and a settlement between the two sides is extremely unlikely to happen before the end of the month...
As ordered by US District Judge Lucy Koh, Tim Cook reportedly met with Samsung's CEO and President of Mobile Communications earlier this week to discuss the ongoing patent war between the two companies.
Apple and Samsung's two-year long battle has recently landed them in Koh's northern California courtroom. And with the trial set to kick off on July 30th, the judge wanted them to give peace talks one last shot...
