From TheRegister: Apple presented a massive 132-page internal Samsung document
that showed the South Korean firm comparing every inch of the iPhone with its
early Galaxy S phone in its patent ruckus yesterday. The internal Samsung
report, translated from Korean, goes over every aspect of the iPhone and looks
at how the equivalent feature of the S mobe matches up. Unfortunately, it also
says none-too-subtly that the S phone would really be a lot better if it was
more like the Jesus-mobe.
Samsung has argued before that of course it looked closely
at what Apple was doing, because (duh!) the two firms are competitors so
they're going to analyse each others' gear. But this document gives Apple yet
more ammunition in its claims that the Korean firm had set out to intentionally
copy the Jesus-mobe. Even if that's true
though, the copying would have to be an infringement on Apple's actual patents
for Apple to win this case. The jury would also have to accept that Apple had a
right to those patents – that they aren't invalid because they're obvious or
had been done before….
