Apple and Samsung submit proposals for narrowing their second California case for trial


Apple and Samsung submitted a joint case management statement together which means they put their positions within the same document. This basically implies that no further progress has been made towards a settlement.

Apple is proposing to limit the number of patents to five for one side and its number of patent claims to 12. Apple is much more confident than Samsung on the summary judgement stage. 



The main difference between Apple and Samsung is the variety of products they use. Samsung has a much more diverse offering of smart phones and tablets than Apple which means this patent war can be critical for its survivor given if it has to recall any items it will be on a much larger scale than Apple.

  1. I too wrote on this article. I find it interesting that Apple has specifically chosen to NOT diversify their smartphone, tablet, and computer products while other companies like Samsung focus on doing just that. On the litigation end, this can help Apple as we see depicted here
