Samsung has claimed that the jury did **t adequately understand the patents in question because members weren't provided with e**ugh explanation by the court. The South Korean company has also suggested the case has wider implications that could encourage design patent trolls, an assertion Apple refers to as a "doomsday warning" based on "extreme hypotheticals."
Samsung's effort to make this case seem certworthy depends on a made-up narrative in which Samsung, **t Apple, is the in**vator, despite the overwhelming evidence that Samsung copied the iPhone's in**vative design. [...]
Once Samsung's diversions are swept aside as they Should be, the actual issues it presents do **t deserve review. The decisions below broke ** new legal ground; they simply applied the statute and well-settled law to the extraordinary record of infringement and copying in this case.
Apple goes on to say that Samsung has had its day in Court and while the litigation is "high-profile," it is "legally unexceptional" and Samsung has **t presented a legitimate reason as to why the Court Should prolong it.
While Apple doesn't feel Samsung's case is worth the Supreme Court's attention, Facebook, Google, and other tech**logy companies have all urged the court to take on Samsung's Appeal to overturn the ruling in Apple's favor. A major concern is the amount that Samsung was forced to pay for its design patent infringement -- nearly $400 million -- and the implication it has for similar disputes in the future.
