    The fact that Apple did get awarded 1.05 billion last time says it all. Samsung did copy and infringe IOS

            I totally agree with you!
            And copying is common in everything, gee!
            For example, I'm iron man, and that guy who wants to be iron man makes a suit like mine, except he sucks so his is still worse than mine even if mine is older. But, there are instances when a genius like me (me being apple, samsung being the other genius) can copy what I did and make it better. And now it's up to me to up the ante and make another one better. This is competition, my friends, and it's what keeps us on improving.

                Apple's pretense to gather source code for evident but the fact is, they want to 'innovate' & patent & sue again.

                      I gotta laugh at the Apple iDiot owners.... Whenever one of you guys mention anything to do with Android or Samsung or even Nokia, LG and so forth then the Apple fanboys lose their minds and start making some unheard of noises..... Let's be real here boys and girls.... Yes I own 2 Samsung devices and a Nokia and yes the do lag when over clock them. This happens merely because you can do so much more. I know this post is supposed to be about a lawsuit but it leads to that! Take your Apple device and do me a favour - please change the way your device interacts with you - oh no you cant because the device controls you! Yes the drop down menu was seen on Samsung before Apple - so what did Apple do differently? You can use 2 fingers open the drop down menu (with Samsung I use 1)! Just for the fun of it - Nokia built a tablet long before Apple did. I like Apples eaten not played with!

                          Its important to remind that software can be patented only in US. So outside of states is not a question at all!!!

                            Yeah, they need the source code just to know what to steal next. Apple runned out of ideas. Apple - R.I.P. - 2013
