Apple and Samsung Both Get South Korea Bans

New submitter Mackadoodledoo sends this quote from the BBC: "A South Korean court has ruled that Apple and Samsung both infringed each other's patents on mobile devices. The court imposed a limited ban on national sales of products by both companies covered by the ruling. It ruled that U.S.-based Apple had infringed two patents held by Samsung, while the Korean firm had violated one of Apple's patents. The sales ban will apply to Apple's iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and its tablets the iPad and iPad 2. Samsung products affected by the ban include its smartphone models Galaxy SI and SII and its Galaxy Tab and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet PCs."

Strange game. The only winning move is, not to play.

End this before is too late

I do not know what about what patents the incoming Patent War will be, but next one will be about patenting sticks and stones.

Jury in Apple vs Samsung case needs instruction

[DickBreath]

In the Apple vs Samsung case in California the jury needs instruction from the court. It seems the rectangular jury table with round corners infringes upon Apple's patent and the jury is unable to proceed.

This is like Dad getting fed up with his 2 brat kids fighting in the back seat of the car. "You two kids get along right NOW... or I'll turn this car around right now and NO ONE will get ice cream!".

(Yes that qualifies for +5 Car Analogy)

Sorry guys. I patented patents and at the same time patented asking for compensation for when whatever patented was used.

Not I
