Apple Vs. Samsung: Overall Design Is What Confuses Customers, Not The Details

sidebyside3A major factor of the Apple v. Samsung case has been whether consumers are confused when purchasing a Samsung device, believing it to be one of Apple's iThings.Peter Bressler, Apple's expert witness in the Apple v Samsung case, just took the stand and cooly confirmed all of Apple's claims against Samsung. But during cross-examination, Samsung's counsel started throwing some punches with regards to prior art. Bressler had originally said in his testimony that the prior art he had analyzed has no bearing because of minor differences, such as a curved front rather than a flat one, as on the iPhone. To combat this testimony, Samsung counsel introduced four different versions of prior art, including the 2005 Sharp design and LG's Prada smartphone. With each example, Samsung counsel went through a checklist of questions: Is it rectangular? Does it have rounded corners? Does it have a balanced screen (centered both horizontally and vertically)? Does it have a speaker grill?Bressler answered "Yes" to most of the questions presented to him, but not without throwing out objections to the way patents and prior art were being analyzed.
