That's most probably why i didn't compare the cases. I compared peoples reactions to the final decisions. Let me know where you were confused, and I'll walk you through my post.
Yes, because people can't have different opinions on totally different matters handled in totally different ways.
And you say I play semantics games.
That's great. Thanks for letting me know that judge alsup is always correct and that's why people were ok with the oracle decision. Judge koh on the other hand had that crazy apple bias so her decisions are suspect. Along with the incompetent, rushed jury it's no wonder Apple won! Conspiracy theory enough for you, or should i throw in some sophisticated Russian spy network to make the screenplay more sellable?
Let me know when Oracle files for appeal and presents arguments about it.
And no one is saying Alsup is correct vs Koh who is wrong. First, there were 2 judges in Apple v. Samsung and most of the "mistakes" that are going to be grounds for appeal were done by Grewal and his handling of discovery and evidence for the trial, not Koh.
In fact, Koh actually scored quite a few points, first by not allowing an injunction against the Tab and only granting it after an appeals court basically removed all her evidence against it. Funny how the Tab was declared non-infringing and now Apple lost their bond and Samsung is rushing to get the injunction lifted uh ? Not a lot of people commenting on the defeat of D'889 it seems...
Anyway, Koh did not take anything on herself except for judicial matters and rules of court. Alsup took a lot on himself and produced quite a few summary judgements based on his own knowledge. So that right there is a key difference. What went to jury in Oracle v. Google didn't require 700 questions or 100 pages of jury instructions, thus its hard to compare both deliberations.
The jury had much more lattitude in Oracle v. Google to take their time. 3 days in Apple v. Samsung is said to be insane by about every jurist and law reporter around, especially since the foreman admitted to ignoring instructions and the jury never asking any questions.
Also, Alsup has been following quite a few high profile patent/copyright/trademark cases relating to technology in the last decade. IBM v. SCO, Novell v. SCO being the big landmarks. He's formed quite an expertise on these matters and as such, he is well respected.
And that is why you can't compare the cases, you can't hold the same opinion of both verdicts based on just the "it's a verdict, it's final" position, because frankly, there are so many differences between both cases that you literrally need to have followed both to form an opinion which can be at polar opposites of the spectrum.
Wall of text end. Cliff notes, TL;DR, etc.. :
You can't compare both cases. I am talking about the same thing as you, Jury Verdicts. Not the same circumstances.
That being said, I have now understood you're just here to stir up trouble. You have no interest in actual conversation, you want to insult and frustrate. Welcome to my ignore list.
