Apple VS Samsung: Top Quotes of Trial Process


The ongoing trial between two of the biggest technology companies in the world -  Apple and Samsung, has aggravated and the ad-hoc jury gives the case an utmost concern. Apple sued Samsung for systematically copying its distinctive features. Meanwhile, the South Korean firm, Samsung, have claimed that it is the pioneer - as those features were produced and introduced by it.

This case between the American corporation and the market leaders Samsung, doesn't look like a joke anymore - with claims of damages been made by both sides and the jury carefully observant and empirical in her judgement.

In the past few weeks, arguments of certain origins have aroused. Here is a collection of the top quotes of this enthralling case:

"The total damages are high, but I hope you understand the reason the damages are high is because
the scope of Samsung's infringement is massive."--Apple attorney Harold McElhinny

"They put that number out there, in your heads, so that is the damages horizon you are thinking of. It's a gross, gross exaggeration and an insult to your intelligence."--Samsung attorney John Quinn, reacting to Apple's demand

"You're going to hear Samsung point the finger at Google, but don't be misled about that. This case is not about Google."--Apple's McElhinny in his opening statement to the jury.

"It's an attack on Android. That's what this case is about. It's about Apple trying to limit consumer choice and gain an advantage over its competitors."--Samsung's Quinn during his opening statement

"We wondered what could come after the iPod. We wanted to try and invent that future rather than let it happen to us."--Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller, recalling Apple's work developing the iPhone
 

"It was astonishing. We knew for at least one day we were a huge success and it had hopefully all been worth it."--Greg Christie on how he felt on the day the iPhone went on sale What's next?

Apple will continue building its case with testimony from experts.Among those expected next week are Thomas Deniau, an Apple software engineer; Todd Mowry, a professor in Carnegie Mellon's computer science department; and Alex Snoeren, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of California, San Diego.
