Apple’s Victory Over Samsung May Spur Antitrust Backlash

While Apple was the clear $1 billion winner in its patent infringement case against Samsung , its victory may be short-lived. Richard Woodbridge, a patent attorney and partner at Fox Rothschild LLP, said that both the fast-paced cycle of innovation, as well as the antitrust implications of the decision, may ultimately cause more problems for Apple than Samsung.

“I think Apple’s trying to shoot a cannon across the bow of Google,” he said, but cautioned that this strategy could backfire.

“In some respects, I wonder if this isn’t a sort of rear-guard action on the part of Apple,” Woodbridge said. “You often see this kind of behavior with a company that has matured and is trying to defend its turf.”

Woodbridge says he sees a pattern emerging that started back when flip phones were on their way out. “Think of how popular the Motorola RAZR was–that had a two-year life. Then Palm was exciting, and that had a two-year life, then Nokia was exciting, then RIM was exciting, and now of course, Apple with its iPhones are exciting,” Woodbridge observed. Now it’s Apple’s turn.

“Clearly Samsung, with the slimmer profile, bigger screen, that’s coming along too,” Woodbridge said. “You have basically have five or six companies that have been at the top of the heap for about two years, and then you have this creative destruction where one starts eating the other’s lunch with better, improved products.”

And, now that Apple is seeking to ban eight Samsung phones, it could bring Apple to the attention of government regulators. ”It puts a target on their back vis a vis antitrust,” Woodbridge said. “Maybe not in the U.S., but potentially in Europe, where the antitrust movement is more aggressive than the United States. Look at the issues Microsoft is going through. When you get to be that big and that powerful and start throwing your weight around, you risk having regulators take a careful look at you.”

Since the jury found that Samsung willfully infringed on Apple’s patents, the company is liable for triple damages–$3 billion, as opposed to $1 billion. But the issue isn’t so much the monetary reward as it is the banning of Samsung’s products. ”If Apple were successful in squashing all Samsung competition, it has some major antitrust implications,” Woodbridge said. “However, I can’t believe the court would be that draconian.”

“The best of all worlds would be Samsung paying Apple some sort of licensing fee,” Woodbridge said. “I don’t imagine the judge would mandate it, but I could see her encouraging them to come to that result.”

“We know who won,” Woodbridge said, “but we don’t know what the prize is.”

Google Responds to Apple’s Victory Over Samsung

In the wake of Apple’s blockbuster legal victory over Samsung, experts were quick to call the ruling a major blow against the Android ecosystem as a whole. Here on Laptopmag.com, analyst Avi Greengart said Microsoft — not Apple — could emerge as the biggest winner, while a cornucopia of commentary articles across the Web pondered what the ruling could mean in Apple’s battles against HTC, Motorola and others. Is this the beginning of the end for Android?

As the weekend progressed, Google’s silence about the case was deafening. Then, late Sunday night, the company released an official statement to several industry publications.

Unfortunately, Google didn’t say much. Here is the statement in its entirety:

The court of appeals will review both infringement and the validity of the patent claims. Most of these don’t relate to the core Android operating system, and several are being re-examined by the US Patent Office. The mobile industry is moving fast and all players — including newcomers — are building upon ideas that have been around for decades. We work with our partners to give consumers innovative and affordable products, and we don’t want anything to limit that.

Compare that to Samsung’s strongly worded statement:

Today’s verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer. It will lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices. It is unfortunate that patent law can be manipulated to give one company a monopoly over rectangles with rounded corners, or technology that is being improved every day by Samsung and other companies. Consumers have the right to choices, and they know what they are buying when they purchase Samsung products. This is not the final word in this case or in battles being waged in courts and tribunals around the world, some of which have already rejected many of Apple’s claims. Samsung will continue to innovate and offer choices for the consumer.

One thing is for certain: the appeals process should sure be interesting… as should Apple’s next move if the verdict is upheld.

Away from Apples Stores, iPads Often Easy to Find

NEW YORK — “We still have some,” said a Best Buy employee about 1 AM this morning when I asked if I could buy a new iPad at the company’s 24-hour story in Manhattan.

Best Buy’s iPad sale was a bit on the down-low. “We didn’t advertise it,” said the employee. “But if people called, we told them they could get it.” He was holding a stack of folders, each labeled with a different configuration and filled with “tickets” — sheets of paper that corresponded to the number of those models left.

A few of the configurations had sold out by then. According to another employee, the “connected” (cellular enabled) models were very popular and the first to go.

Snagging an iPad wasn’t just a trick for people who knew about that one Manhattan store. Walmarts around the U.S. are selling the base, $499 model of the new iPad, and many of them started at 12:01 AM, as well.

No one was sleeping on the sidewalk in front of a Radio Shack on 14th Street in New York. And, like the down-low nature of the Best Buy down the street, this Radio Shack didn’t have any signage announcing the new iPad.

But based on a call we made on Thursday evening (March 15), we learned that it would be selling the tablets at 8 AM — the same time that damp, chilled folks camping outside the Apple stores would be shuffling inside. By then, the night owl customers from Best Buy and Walmart might be sleeping late, hugging their new iPads like teddy bears.
