Were some e-mail messages to tip the balance for a verdict favorable to Apple in legal battle with Samsung. This was revealed by a member of the jury, Manuel Ilagan: with eight other witnesses heard, viewed documents, considered the arguments of the prosecution and the defense for three weeks.
Yesterday he told the news website Cnet that the evaluation was also affected by some email, where within the Korean group was considered the addition of features into its products similar to Apple. He also contributed to the vision of smart phones designed by the Asian before and after the market launch of the iPhone. Samsung has announced an appeal against the judgment of the court in San Jose condemning the Korean chaebol to pay $ 1.05 billion to Apple.
The decision of the judges raised threads: it took 21 hours, equivalent to less than three days. It is a fairly rapid for a complex case. To expedite the process examined a matrix to examine each request for judgment on the smartphone models. A lift contention was, also, the place. San Jose, where the court is located, is a city in California's Silicon Valley and is part of an area where Apple has taken the first steps thanks to the intuition of two young entrepreneurs, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak: they turned their passion into a startup that has been successful in the field.
And their story is now immersed in the local culture. Even the ability of jurors to understand technical issues has been the subject of debate: they listened in court detailed descriptions on the design of products and software applications. But four out of nine members of the jury had training in technical subjects or work experience in the high tech industry.
