The following is a summary of the contents of this analysis article:
The ambitious patent war epic game involving the world's two largest technology companies, and some of the most popular devices in the market is now up to nine jurors to decide the outcome in California, USA.
For Apple, the ability to obtain the key to victory seems obvious. Apple alleged that Samsung had violated the company's four design patents and three software patents. There is no doubt that Samsung are many devices to be questioned looks with Apple products is very similar. Even U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh also acknowledged that the Samsung Galaxy Tablet PC looks with Apple iPad is almost difficult to distinguish ".
Many experts agree that tracking the activities of the Tribunal, Apple has made strong allegations. University of Notre Dame, law professor and intellectual property expert Mark McKenna said: "Samsung can insist on the defensive so long, and already I am surprised."
Apple any advantage may become a decisive victory. Alex Poltorak, CEO of General Patent industry consultant, said that nearly three-quarters of patent litigation, the jury will have to make everything conducive to the ruling of the same party. In his view, the jury is unlikely to be a little pick by little review of all the details.
He pointed out: jury consideration of momentum usually find out who is a good man, who is a bad person related Samsung will be more likely to be judged plagiarism Apple design, rather than less likely. Jury on all things made in favor of Apple's decision. "
Samsung loses consideration may be very expensive: Apple is its claim to $ 2.5 billion. However, Samsung has enough cash to be able to withstand such a blow. Samsung's net profit last year of $ 12 billion, the amount of cash held a total of $ 14 billion. Legal and scientific experts widely agree with the view that if Apple for a comprehensive victory, the future prospects of the smart phone industry will undergo major changes, in particular, is especially true for Google (microblogging) Android ecosystem. Samsung is the largest Adroid smartphone vendors.
"Other vendors may also be subject to similar allegations of software piracy, which means that Google must ensure its Android interface is not infringing." The services company IBB mobile consultant Jefferson Wang said, "This means that wireless carriers will have to start worrying about Android is not a viable ecosystem. "
If the jury ruled that Samsung violated Apple's design patent, then also forced the smartphone and tablet computer manufacturers to redesign products. Chris Carani, McAndrews, Held, & Malloy Law Firm of the design patent lawyer, said: "If Apple's favor, then the competitors will have to avoid to make their own products similar to Apple's products like Samsung, as they will have to create distinct from Apple products. "
Apple may also request court version Order prohibiting Samsung to sell products infringed the company's patent, which means that those products will be forced away from the U.S. market.
