APPLE wins lawsuit against SAMSUNG a whopping $1.05B for Patent infringement

This is no shocking news for us, as it was in the beginning that most experts viewed SAMSUNG as the underdog in the case (APPLE is miles away from the courthouse and jurors were pick up in the heart of silicon valley). How awesome APPLE achieved alot of success by copying and building the graphical user interface by XEROX yet have been so litigious with other companies. I don't begrudge them protecting their intellectual property but how in the world were they granted patented for curved edge on a rectangular phone? The part about patenting a shape in my idea is ridiculous. But i also personally believed that SAMSUNG is liable on other legal grounds, APPLE's touch screen innovation with icons is simple yet revolutionary as evidenced by a fact that everyone copied the idea. I believed fine will be reduced on appeal.

I am not rooting for SAMSUNG, as I do love my iPhone more than any SAMSUNG gadgets. What I care is, american court verdict will not be viewed as a win for APPLE but a clear loss for us end consumers. I have come to hate APPLE, as the company that snuffs out any competition, although this is understandable on the business sense and shareholder's value, but these kinds of maneuvers will ultimately limit consumer choice and eliminate free enterprise. AN additional bucks for us customer's for the so called PATENT BURDEN.

On the other side, the case is also a strategy for APPLE to road block the fast facing Google's ANDROID OS and stem the tide of market share that ANDROID is collectively gaining.

There's quite a chunk that is not fair to APPLE and they could dredge up things against SAMSUNG or others or vice versa, but doesn't mean they'd be in court for years, battle after battle. Maybe it's best for us consumers if technology company like SAMSUNG and APPLE to focus on spending their money research and development rather than spewing on litigation.

On the bright side, it is expected for SAMSUNG to back at the drawing board and make major overhauls. A major reset could produce exciting products and innovations and hopefully at a friendlier price.
