- taligent 14y agoWeird. I see Samsung and Google as being the ridiculous ones here. Abusing FRAND principles, withholding/destroying evidence, deliberately trying to confuse the jury, misleading judges that overscroll bouncing and other design patents are equivalent to standards essential patents when they clearly aren't.
- nl 14y agoHow do you see that? Genuine question - given that the linked article quotes a judge calling the whole dispute ridiculous, and the article calls it an almost laughable amount. I think the whole set of patent disputes is stupid, and this damage claim meets all the criteria to be called ridiculous. I mean... 2.5 BILLION DOLLARS!!!! There just is no way that any design patent is worth that.
