I think Apple overplayed its hand with regards to patents. They’ve scaled the wall but are now tumbling downward quickly.
Their Senior Patent Counsel’s office door should read ‘i-used-to-patent-everything’.
Personally, I think Samsung is an unstoppable small consumer product machine, much like their S. Korean cohorts LG is an unstoppable large consumer product machine and Hyundai is an unstoppable transportation machine. Pretty convincing trifecta they’ve got going on at the moment.
