Qualcomm, Intel provide source code in patent battle

Kelly Hodgkins

Apple has some unusual bedfellows, Intel and Qualcomm, in a patent infringement case that it's fighting with Samsung in Australia. According to a Bloomberg report, Intel and Qualcomm agreed to provide the Australian court with source code that'll prove Apple isn't infringing on patents held by Samsung.

The trial is slated to begin July 9 and will run through October 12. The Sydney Federal Court is expecting the trial to be a blockbuster affair and may assign a second judge and a court-appointed expert to serve at the trial.

www.tuaw.com Randy Nelson 91 days ago

Hello there, it's Friday and time for your regularly scheduled update on the continuing courtroom hijinks between Samsung and Apple! Today we bring word via FOSS Patents that a German court has stayed one of the approximately 200 million cases (give or take a few) brought by the former against the latter. This one involves a Samsung patent covering the translation on onscreen text to voice, or, as Apple terms it, VoiceOver. Judge Andreas Voss of the Mannheim Regional Court is putting the brakes on the case, citing the fact that the patent in question is currently having its validity examined... Read similar

The US Patent and Trademark Office has handed Apple a tentative rejection of a touch recognition patent that was part of the company's $1.05 billion court victory against Samsung in August. According to FOSS Patents, all 20 claims of US Patent No. 7,844,915 have been invalidated, but it was claim 8 that the jury in the case found all but two of Samsung's devices in the suit to be in violation of. The patent involves methods for differentiating between one- and two-finger gestures on touch devices. Samsung brought the USPTO's finding to the court's attention in hopes that it might increase it... Read similar

A judge cut $450 million from a $1 billion award to be paid by Samsung in a landmark patent lawsuit from Apple, saying a jury had wrongly calculated the damages. US District Judge Lucy Koh affirmed the remainder of the award, amounting to $598.9 million, in the patent infringement case, while denying Apple's request for a bigger penalty. The decision marked the latest twist in the blockbuster trial pitting the maker of the iPhone against the surging South Korean electronics giant. Apple had accused its rival of massive and willful copying of its designs and technology for smartphones and table... Read similar

With Samsung in particular, Apple has ongoing legal battles with its Korean-based competitor in 11 countries across 4 continents.Oddly enough, Apple's legal battles were tangentially brought up during Tuesday's congressional hearing which was held to take a closer look at A...

Samsung: Apple-requested injunction would 'confuse and intimidate' customers

Samsung has a new legal argument in its ongoing litigation with Apple over the sale of certain Android-based smartphones in the US. While the basis of Apple's case is patent infringement claims, Samsung is now arguing that allowing Apple a permanent injunction would "intimidate and confuse" customers.The drive of Samsung's case, according to an examination by FOSS Patents, is that the injunction "would not stop any ongoing infringement, for Samsung has either discontinued the accused products or designed around any infringing features in ones that it still sells."Apple won a massive US$1.05 bi...

US judge won't help Samsung in Japanese suit against Apple

www.tuaw.com Randy Nelson 120 days ago

Samsung's latest legal maneuver in its ongoing patent war with Apple has been shot down by a US court. The company was attempting to get Judge Paul S. Grewal to issue a subpoena demanding that Apple turn over evidence so it could use it in a case getting underway in Japan. The evidence included the iPhone used on stage by Steve Jobs during the device's unveiling in 2007 and another used in a demonstration video posted to Apple's website. Judge Grewal denied the request on the grounds that it appeared Samsung was attempting to circumvent the discovery process of the Japanese tribunal hearing ... Read similar

Koh denied Apple's request for a permanent injunction against the Samsung products that a jury said infringe on the Cupertino company's patents. According to The Verge, Apple didn't convince that judge that Samsung's infringing features were directly driving consumer demand for the product. Koh also denied Samsung a mistrial based on allegations of misconduct by jury foreman Velvin Hogan, wh... Read similar

Apple: We knew little of jury foreman in Samsung case

unofficial apple weblog

Following the massive $1.05 billion patent ruling against Samsung earlier this year, the company is understandably doing all it can to keep from having to hand the cash to Apple. One such effort involved a thorough investigation of the jury foreman of the case, Velvin Hogan, and an allegation that Apple may have known that a potential bias against Samsung would be an issue. As Ars Technica reports, Apple's official response is essentially that the company knew nearly nothing of the foreman's prior dealings. Hogan's prior business dealings led him to be sued by Seagate Technology, a company t... Read similar

Apple warranty blunder Down Under

The Australian Consumer Law was passed in January of 2011, with one of the major stipulations being that companies must provide customers with a "reasonable" warranty period for products. For expensive items like computers, a period of two years is suggested. The Sydney Morning Herald is reporting that Apple has increased the standard warranty on its products to two years to comply with the law, but is telling retail employees to not discuss those changes with customers. The newspaper obtained an email from an Australian Apple retail store instructing staff not to talk about the new warranty... Read similar

Samsung and Apple have been battling in the Australian court system for almost two years. According to a report in Financial Review, the infringement claims have gotten so complicated that the court system has taken a radical move to simplify the hearings. For the first time in Federal Court history, two judges will be present in court to hear each side's arguments. The idea was introduced by Justice Annabelle Bennett, who has been involved in the court cases since the beginning. Joining her in court will be Justice David Yates.

Apple rejects Samsung request to see iOS 6 source code

In the never-ending global legal battle between Apple and Samsung, the Korean electronics firm has been rebuffed by Apple in an attempt to see the source code for iOS 6. According to The Korea Times, Samsung argues that unless they have access to the source code, they won't know if iOS 6 infringes on its technology patents. Apple's legal representatives apparently called the demand "insane," with a Seoul Central District Court representative recalling an Apple lawyer as saying "It doesn't make any sense.

The move, if granted by the court, could result in a lower monetary award to Apple than the US$1.05 billion initially awarded last August. That initial award has already been chipped away at by the court, with Judge Lucy Koh pulling $450 million of the verdict as the jury had improperly awarded damages for 14 products.
