Apple Awarded $1.049 Billion In Damages As Jury Finds Samsung Infringed On Design And Software Patents The jury in the landmark Apple-Samsung trial ruled mostly in favor of Apple, including awarding Apple $1,049,343,540 in damages. Samsung, on the other hand, was granted a total of $0 in damages. It has been expected since the beginning of this trial that both companies would file appeals regardless of the verdict, so it would be shortsighted to assume that this is the end. Both companies are now discussing post-trial motions and arguing over how much time Samsung should be given to prepare. Here are the statements from both companies. First, Apple PR head Katie Cotton: We are grateful to the jury for their service and for investing the time to listen to our story and we were thrilled to be able to finally tell it. The mountain of evidence presented during the trail showed that Samsung’s copying went far deeper than even we knew. The lawsuits between Apple and Samsung were about much more than patents or money. They were about values. At Apple, we value originality and innovation and pour our lives into making the best products on earth. We make these products to delight our customers, not for our competitors to flagrantly copy. We applaud the court for finding Samsung’s behavior willful and for sending a loud and clear message that stealing isn’t right. Then, the Samsung PR team: “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...

Justified Concepts was established to reach out to like-minded people who produce, supply and purchase goods and services and want absolute transparency. Transparency about where the good comes from, how it was made and how it is priced. When you purchase a good or service you make the decision to pay for what you get based on limited information or certain assumptions. We think you deserve more disclosure and will reward this effort accordingly. You may pay more for a luxury brand or a superior professional service if you feel it is justified relative to its competition but you may also evaluate its substitutes more effectively using our website. The desire is there, but the time to obtain price discovery or trust in the output at the point of purchase for most consumers is not. You don’t have to be an expert to know what you are buying, if the suppliers are telling you what their reward for effort is and what their philosophy of production is. Their company may be based upon certain guiding principles which matter to you including but not limited to contributions to charitable organisations. With your purchase and the information Justified Concepts provides, you decide if its worth it. Your smallest and biggest buying decisions matter because it reflects how you choose to live. Justified Concepts aims to make your point of execution more informed and transparent – JUSTIFIED – and if you want to pay a farmer, manufacturer or lawyer for their expertise and effort in bringing that product or service to you, you should know more about...

New site/app launch: Lira – Life Information Reporting Assistant (NFC / RFID) The idea of Live Information Reporting Assistant was initially developed as a cost effective solution for the better facilitation of security patrolling in Singapore. The LIRA server is a management system that allows the easy supervision of live reporting conducted by staff on the ground. LIRA involves the use of a mobile application in smart phones and near-field communication technology in order for staff members to write and submit reports while they are on the ground. The use of NFC tags allow our clients to with checkpoint tours for their staff in any compound or facility. These staff are then required to follow the checkpoints while they do their rounds. Staff can also report any incident to the server immediately, when something is out of the ordinary. The LIRA system is an effective way of monitoring live reports for management of security, facilities and logistics. Please refer to the technology tab for more information. Technology: A near field communication tag is placed on each checkpoint in a checkpoint tour. The LIRA mobile applications provides users with the ability to use near field communication technology in smart phones to conduct their checkpoint tours around a vicinity by simply placing their phones in contact with these NFC tags. Once each checkpoint tour is completed, the information will be automatically sent to the LIRA server.
