[Update 4 August 2013] Many months and lawyers’-fees later,
the Administration
calls a mulligan:
The Obama
administration Saturday halted a planned ban on the import and sale of older
iPhones and Apple tablets that was ordered by the U.S. International Trade
Commission. The order would have
banned the sale of AT&T versions of the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 3G and
iPad 2 3G starting Monday for infringing on a patent held by Apple rival Samsung.
U.S. Trade Representative
Michael Froman said that his decision to lift the ban was based on a review of
“various policy considerations” related to whether companies can sue
competitors for infringing on patents covering technology that has been deemed
standard and essential for the industry.

In a stunning
development, a Silicon Valley jury consisting of a crack team of the world's
leading experts in software engineering a random collection of housewives, laid-off French-fry
salesmen, and people with Apple stock options, reached a Solomonic
decision: You Korean guys
pay our California guys a biyyyun dollars. (You can just picture the scene in the jury room, laughing
and whooping it up: a biyyyyyyun
$$$ ! ! !.) Additionally,
since the victims defendents
bad guys were found to have oddly shaped eyes, the American judge has the
option of tripling the damages at a
stroke of the pen.
(BwwwwwAHH-ha-hahhhhh! Take
that, little yellow people!)

From
the standpoint of international diplomacy and legal theory, the
judgment is problematic, since no doubt a North Korean jury would find
that both Apple and Samsung had stolen all their ideas from beloved
people’s leader Kim Il Sung, and would award South Korea to North Korea
in damages, along with a lien on California. But we’re too busy to worry about all that. Time to get in on the action.
In return for a slice of any additional damages, the World of Dr Justice sent its renowned Research Tigers into the fray. And what they discovered is astonishing. Samsung’s
infringement goes wa-ay beyond rounding the corners off Apple’s
patented Rectangles ® [©Steve Jobs, all rights rigorously reserved]. No-o, it goes deep into the core. (“Core” -- get it? That’s patented too.) For: As
our team was able to learn, all of Apple’s software, even though on
your screen it looks like goofy little animals and whatever, at bottom
is nothing but what top experts call “binary” -- little zeros ® and ones
®. Shockingly, Samsung has copied Apple in using binary -- and brazenly selected the same little digits, zeros and ones!
We have turned our findings over to our lawyers, who will negotiate our cut with the court. Meanwhile, ciao, gotta run -- going out to see a fellow about a yacht.

A Delaware court ruled Thursday
that Apple's iPhone infringes three patents held by Sony and Nokia, according
to a report from Bloomberg.
The case was brought by
MobileMedia, a holding company owned by Sony, MPEG-LA and Nokia that controls
those companies' patents. MobileMedia is charged with enforcing about 300
patents, but because it doesn't make any products, it can't be countersued. Neat,
huh?
Lest you think that tactic is a bit
dodgy, it should be noted that Apple has its own patent holding company: the
Rockstar Consortium. Rockstar was created after Apple joined with Microsoft and
Rimm, among others, to acquire 4,000 patents from Nortel.

[Update 1 March 2013]
A federal judge on Friday erased nearly half of the $1 billion in damages that a jury decided that Samsung Electronics should pay Apple in a high-profile trial over the smartphone and tablet computer patents. U.S. District Court Judge Lucy Koh lowered the damages awarded to Apple Inc. by $450.5 million, saying jurors had not properly followed her instruction in calculating some of the damages.
