Lawsuit

Law & Apple: Some Courtroom Clarity, Yet Big Questions Remain

Posted 12/19/2012 at 11:40am | by Adrian Hoppel

It was, clearly, the biggest patent lawsuit of the year in the tech industry, and it originally resulted in a $1 billion decision for Apple, to be paid by Samsung. However, whenever that many zeroes are involved in a lawsuit, you can be sure there will be lots and lots of appeals, motions, whining, and crying after the fact. The first post-trial rulings were issued this week: did the court grant more big wins for Apple, or did Samsung manage to salvage something from their summertime courtroom wreckage? Read on!

Law & Apple: Qualcomm Gets Nasty, Engages Self-Preservation Mode

Last month, when the ITC decided to investigate a previous ruling between Apple and Samsung, who knew that the investigation would spiral into reality-TV drama and name-calling? Especially from a company that was last seen as a major player on the mobile device scene before reality TV even existed? And this is why we can't have nice things.

The growing problem of Patent Trolls continues, with a new patent infringement lawsuit launched this week against Apple over earbuds. Meanwhile, Apple and Samsung continue to cram each other's products into lawsuits, with the iPad mini now the latest victim. No holiday spirit this week among tech company lawyers, just more Grinch-ing.

Apple Allegedly Paid $7 Million in Color Labs Deal

On Monday afternoon, it was reported that a former employee of social share start-up Color Labs was suing the company. While recent reports indicated Apple acquired the company's talent, there may be a discrepancy in just how much Cupertino had to fork over on the deal. According to sources, Apple may have paid $7 million to scoop up the Color Labs team and some of its assets.

Law & Apple: Peace with HTC, Who's Next?

Posted 11/14/2012 at 12:19pm | by Adrian Hoppel

As the holiday season rapidly approaches, there is renewed hope for peace on earth; at least with regard to the ongoing Patent Wars. Apple and HTC have agreed to share nicely, putting away the lawyers and working out a deal to play, and pay, fairly. Is this cease-fire a big-enough deal to encourage some of the other players to seriously come to the bargaining table?

Law & Apple: Apple Misses on Motorola, Stacks the Deck on Samsung

If the world could vote on the patent wars, no matter which side you support, we suspect most would vote for them to just go away. Providing, of course, that there was some way to keep companies from slavishly copying each other. But, since we don't get to vote on that particular initiative, the best we can do is follow along at home, and there seems to always be something new to follow. This past week, Apple got the door slammed on one lawsuit while trying fatten up another one. The pollsters never seem to get these things exactly right, do they?

Law & Apple: Tricks or Treats from Patent Trolls and Spooked Moms

Well, it is Halloween, and the patent trolls are trick-or-treating in Cupertino. A Texas based company is looking to get a bag of cash treats from Apple because of a patent dispute, and a woman and her son from Canada are spooked because, she claims in a class-action suit, Apple is stalking them. Sometimes, we suspect, Cupertino lawyers probably wish they were allowed to just turn out the lights and not answer the door.
