Apple Requests Stay of Motorola Patent Suits as Samsung Sues in France, Appeals in Germany

Maybe you should do an actual count. My impression is there are more posts against Apple in all these patent lawsuit threads than for. And similar post ratings numbers.

Maybe you should note when someone is obviously mocking and posts in jest. Come on now, you're not new here

Yeah everyone started copying Apple when Apple turned the entire mobile phone market on its head as an outsider.

It is very clear what happened.

A mature industry got caught with its pants down by an outside company and were totally at a loss for how to compete in a normal way, so they just stole.

EXCEPT: The icon format was already in the Palm PDAs and T-Mobile (Germany) had a similar integrated device called the MDA way ahead of the original iPhone. Granted, it wasn't that polished up and had nicks and dings compared to the iOS, but the major ideas were there. You still had to use a certain pen though since touch technology was not that sophisticated back then. But stealing, yea, it goes both ways.

Good luck, Samsung. So far nothing against Apple has stuck. Meanwhile your lawyers are busy digging up old movie props as evidence and losing injunction cases.

And this 'victory' was for a photo browser app that was added in stock android 2.x by Google.

Mighty Samsung will crush the patent trolls Apple.

Except that Samsung is smaller than Apple on market value plus depends on part of their sales on Apple to buy their parts for iDevices. So, in the end, they depend on each other and will both go home with some black eyes and tomorrow, they will both play in the same sandbox together again.

I will tell my son to study for IP lawyer, it seems a bright future

I want to be part of the claims court when I grow up (or whatever the right court is) so I can just listen to people argue

hahahahaha, that is very true!!! Must be that desperate to pay people to watch movies to find products that somewhat look like they have been developed in the future.

France actually adapts Apple's innovation and their products in most places throughout France. Samsung is going to lose yet again. I have met many French people and have witnessed companies that use Apple products.

I suspect that the French will not support the case and it will backfire into Samsung's face. They are strong uses or unix which then moved onto Apple

So, because a company products are used they can't lose any trial?

Really?

Yawn. Just a face-saving move.

"We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We've decided to do something about it. We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours." - S. Jobs

Steve missed option 3: You arrange an Patent-Exchange-Plan with some of your competitors.

If someone steals the IP he should get sued.

Not necessarily. For example Apple does not sue Huawei even there Tables look a lot more like Apple products.

They are just not important enough.

Hmm, I'll try to work on that. I would say, though, that "obviously mocking" doesn't apply well to dry humor. Not even in conversation, let alone typed words in a forum.
