漸漸地,訴訟也讓人感到疲累,法官也弄得上媒體說這兩件公司利用司法資源作行銷,Apple v. Samsung之間的訴訟被媒體持續關注,直到大家都彈性疲乏。如果一段時間沒有新的訴訟產生,特別是海關禁令、大額賠償、雙方的發言也漸漸少了(至少主流媒體減少報導),媒體就開始聊一聊新機、下一代新技術、行動裝置市佔、看一看新產出的專利有哪些可以談的...。
FOSS Patents在6, 7月份文章特別少,站主律師就是持續關注行動通訊的訴訟,很多媒體引用內容的網站,因此現狀大約就是反映出行動訴訟的明顯減少。不過,或是站主去放假也是可能!!!
依照FOSS Patents的報導,Apple與Samsung上個月同意撤去雙方ITC案件上訴到上訴法院(CAFC)的訴訟,也就是興訟的Apple接受了ITC拒絕對Samsung發出禁令的決定。
其實當中也是因為Apple的訴訟並無預定的效果,兩個公司的市佔比也是起起落落,其中Samsung不見得有優勢,甚至一些觸控專利持續被異議有關,而且情況多半不如Apple的意,特別是國外的訴訟中專利被質疑地要丟掉專利權,本部落格也曾報導過一些!
Apple主動解除的報導(截自請願原文):
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 42(b), Plaintiff-Cross Appellant Apple Inc. (“Apple”) moves to voluntarily dismiss its cross-appeal, No. 2014-1368.
Apple further moves to reform the official caption of the remaining appeal (No. 2014-1335) to reflect the dismissal of Apple’s cross-appeal.7/28/2014中一點點寞落的解除訴訟聲明:
Counsel for Apple has conferred with counsel for Samsung Electronics Corporation, Ltd., Samsung Electronics America, Inc., and Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (collectively, “Samsung”) regarding the substance of this motion. Samsung does not oppose the relief requested in this motion and will not file a response. Apple accordingly requests that the Court grant its motion and dismiss its cross-appeal and reform the official caption to reflect the dismissal. A proposed order is attached.
CAFC隨後發出撤銷訴訟的命令(法官Lucy H. Koh):
