Apple vs. Samsung: Judge urges the new talks at Senior level
Located in the largest patent process from Apple and Samsung, the judge called on rivals to renew negotiations. "It is time for peace," the California judge Lucy Koh said at the hearing on Wednesday, according to U.S. media reports. She warned the companies against the risks if the case would be decided by a jury. The boss of Apple and Samsung had recently at the insistence of the Court already negotiated unsuccessfully for two days in May. The lawyers on both sides agreed to at least make a conference call.
So far, is difficult to assess whether the site could impress the jury. Apple continues to focus strongly on internal Samsung documents such as a comparative analysis of the iPhone software or an e-mail with a warning from Google that the models are too similar to Apple devices. Samsung presented the other hand, including the inventor of a tablet concept from the 90s as well as presentation skills, decided early on that a similar gesture control like Apple with its touch screen.
Currently, Apple and Samsung are yet fully absorbed in the exchange of blows in her great process in California. Apple accuses Samsung of having copied design and software elements of the iPhone and iPad. Samsung claims in return, the U.S. competitor had actually invented anything new and also accused Apple of violating several technical patents. The dispute before the nine jurors is tough, of the 25 hours, the Judge Koh acknowledged each side, Samsung has left over 2.5 hours and Apple 7 hours. For next week, the final pleas are expected.
Apple requires in the process at least 2.5 billion dollars in damages from Samsung. The companies had negotiated since 2010 several times, but not able to agree.
