Samsung returns to court over $1 billion loss against Apple in August.
During their return in court over Apple's court case win that saw it being awarded $1.05 billion, Samsung has stressed that it's willing to call peace on their worldwide patent disputes, but it's up to the iPhone creator to decide.
"It's time for global peace," U.S. District Court's Lucy Koh told both companies, who was the judge presiding over the firm's court case back in August.
"Is there anything the court can do? I'm more than willing to issue orders," she continued. "It would be good for consumers, good for the industry, good for the parties."
Samsung attorney Charles Verhoeven agreed with Koh's comments, stressing that it's willing to settle with Apple. "We are willing. The ball's in their court," he said.
Despite Verhoeven's aforementioned comment, Samsung Mobile Chief J.K. Shin had previously stated that the South Korean technology conglomerate has no intentions of discussing a peace deal with Apple.
thank you, for not letting Samsung show its F700 to the jury.
Mr Steve J. prmised to spend last penny on "thermonuclear" war on Android. So guess what are the chances.
In other news, in UK Apple had to publicly apologize for what your court awarded Apple more than a billion of "damages".
Pretty much every case worldwide, Apple has lost. And yet only in the USA do they win, and it's under very curious circumstances.
Jury Foreman lying to cover up obvious biases he would have, devices Samsung has to pay for infringing even though the Jury even said they didn't.
I say the Foreman be arrested for lying in court and the Judge be disbarred.
So, Take a popcorn and lets wait for the case to move to Federal Appeal court.
I'm all for competition, but I'm not sure these law suits are really competition. Good competition is producing the best product you can for a price people are willing to buy it at. If the lawsuits are really legit, that's one thing, but if they aren't, then the company that brings the suit should be in for possible sanctions and fines.
The judge is right on this: customers are sick of the lawsuits. I think this is hurting Apple more than Samsung.
With two of the main patents used in this case being recently invalidated, and the foreman scandal, it may be in Apple's interest to settle.
It was Apple who approached Samsung. Twice, the second being a personal visit from Jobs. As if that weren;t enough Google also warned Samsung about copying Apple.
BUt you idiots don;t want to listen to facts and will continue to assume Apple is evel. I bet you'r teh same people who used to hate Microsoft years ago or even IBM before them (if any of you children are old enough to remember).
Damn.... You've got so much rage, you can't even type right anymore... better get it under control old timer, before your old heart gives out on you! You do want to live long enough to witness the death of your beloved Apple don't you?
No, I don't think so. There are many reasons why the judge will not invalidate jury verdict, but those facts, that you mention, will be used at the appeal proceedings.

Samsung is not willing to settle, they only aggree to talk. They're just not being totally negative and stupid.
So, what you're actually saying, is that S. Jobs himself visited Samsung to deliver his "thermonuclear" threat personally. It makes sense, because face to face and behind closed doors, you can bring your true self out, no need to hide from the public as you do any other day. For a minute, I thought you ment S. Jobs went there to settle.
And, as you imply, Samsung had to stop making phones because of this visit. Why is that?
a) So Apple can have their way (read: monopoly) and sell more phones?
b) Because Apple invented round edges?
c) Because Apple wants Android to disappear, but would not go directly against its maker?
d) Because Samsung is the world's no 1 handset maker?
e) Because the patet system sucks?
Correct answer: All of the above.
Woooow! Seriously, I don't think you're in a position to judge, or call anyone an idiot. Facts? Better get your own facts straight, you are more biased than Foreman has been. By the way, who might the people that hated Microsoft or even IBM before that, be? Let me guess... people like you?
You should post at some other place, where there are lots of fanboys who share your views and hatred.
Case in point, sharksman stating the "two of the main patents used in this case" when in fact only one was actually part of this case. Another case in point: your stupid post that Apple wants Samsung to not make phones. Seriously? Is this the kind of garbage you actually believe? Bring up a few "made-up" points to try and support your argument? Pathetic.
Sorry, not going to leave. Too much entertainment value in rattling the cages of the haters. And it's so damned easy to do. Just post up a fact about Apple and watch the $hit fly. Ironic you telling me to find a another place to post when you haters can't even skip over the Apple threads on Tom's to post in ones about products you actually use. Hypocrite.
BTW I never hated MS or IBM. In fact, I usually stick up for them against the idiots (yes I can call someone who posts lies and mis-information an idiot). As I said, listening to you is just standing on the street corner listening to the hippies protest. Always gotta "stick it to the man".
No you don't, you have a belly full of loathing for anything that isn't Apple
