Post #10: Two-judge panel for Apple vs. Samsung patent litigation

Surprisingly, the federal court in Australia appointed two judges to hear the initial case about Apple and Samsung patent war. It would be interesting to see if the two judges have different opinions on the case. I wonder how much public resources Apple and Samsung are using with these complex cases. Slowly I realized that this patent war is never going to stop between the two giants. I feel like instead of spending the money on innovation, they are spending money to fight for being the last giant standing. I understand the importance of protecting ones innovation, especially how much it will affect the company’s future. However, I feel like they do not understand that they are the people who slow down their innovation. By suing another company, they also suffer from losing time in innovation. How much more of these money and public resources are going to be drained from the patent war?

  1. In reality, Apple’s patent cases against Samsung were a tactic to curb the explosive growth of the Galaxy. We should actually thank Apple for being a much-needed check on Samsung’s expanding empire. In turn, Samsung has provided a check on Apple.

  2. I completely agree with you. I have no idea why they keep suing one another when Apple buys products from Samsung and they had such great relations. These companies should know that their innovation will be taken once it hits the market just how the concept of touchscreen phones blew up once Apple came out with the first iphone. Similarly to how camera phones suddenly blew up when the first one came out. No consumer is going to buy a phone SOLELY on the camera or whatever innovation these products are suing one another about. There is more to that than they are suing for. Instead of wasting money on litigations they should spend money on RD to both stay in the market and compete with one another.
