D11 I suggest you read what CNET had to say about the jury. And by the way you are totally wrong about Apple producing the first smart phones and tablets, Nokia was the true innovator of those products using Linux as the OS. Long live open source.

Spiceman, # 15
please, HTC, O2 and others were making PDA's that could do the basics in 2002, with the I Phone 3 came out in 2009?
so who was first?Discussion 15 : 01 Sep 2012 at 02.5815
Khun Ravbrat #14, copying is a much easier and faster process than inventing, don't you think? Ask yourself this question, how come no one came up with smartphone and tablet but the late Steve Jobs and Apple? Khun Hawaiiman #13 is exactly correct, saying it is all about the Rules of Law. If the patents are not vigorously protected, inventors will be very reluctant to bring their inventions into the market, and consumers like us will miss out many wonderful things which enrich our lives.

Let's look at it from D13 point of view: In this case, it does not matter if they are removed or not. The main Samsung tablet that was banned was found not in violation, for this Apple will be paying dearly for Apple was unjustified in it's presumption of violation. As for the rest of the items of Samsung's, they already have replacements in the distribution system to replace all of them, so even if they are banned - it makes no difference.
That's a significant reason why Apple sued Samsung, because Samsung can move very rapidly to develop and deploy products whereas Apple moves too slowly....Discussion 13 : 31 Aug 2012 at 20.4713
The original question wasn't about which is the better company,or even whether the US or Korean decisions were just. Its about respecting the rule of law. The products in question should be removed from sale.

The court case was in the USA with 12 Americans in the jury. An American company sued a South Korean company in the hometown of the American company. Why am I not surprised that America won?

Khun Uberbraun #10, is that a pure speculation on your part? By the way, both sides usually had an equal say during jury selection and must agree on the jury before a trial could proceed. So, I don't see anything wrong with the American justice system, which is not perfect, but far better than anywhere else in the world.
Discussion 10 : 31 Aug 2012 at 11.1310
The problem with the way a jury is selected in the USA is that I am willing to bet that there was not a single person on that jury with enough technical knowledge to be capable of making an intelligent decision based on the patent arguments.
I hope the court of appeals overturns this stupid decision.Discussion 9 : 31 Aug 2012 at 01.499
Khun Ravbrat #7, that's what the patent law is for! And I trust a jury of twelve over a judge any day of the year!
Discussion 8 : 31 Aug 2012 at 01.438
Khun Onlyasking #5, so do you trust a judge over a jury of twelve? And between the two companies, which one do you think has a great reputation of being driven by innovation? If Samsung can change the designs so not to infringe on Apple's, it would be best for the consumers, and the patent law has served its purpose.
