High court sides with Samsung in patent dispute with Apple
By SAM HANANEL
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
(AP)
— The Supreme Court
unanimously sided with
smartphone maker Samsung
on Tuesday in its high-profile
patent dispute with Apple
over design of the iPhone.
The justices said Samsung
may not be required to pay
all the profits it earned from
11 phone models because the
features it copied from the
iPhone were only a part of
Samsung’s devices.
Cupertino,
Califor-
nia-based Apple had won
a $399 million judgment
against South Korea-based
Samsung for infringing parts
of the iPhone’s patented
design, but the case now
returns to a lower court to
decide what Samsung must
pay.
The case is part of a series
of disputes between the
technology rivals that began

Electronics Co. logos at its headquarters in Seoul,
South Korea.
in 2011. Apple accused
Samsung of duplicating a
handful of distinctive iPhone
features for which Apple
holds patents: the flat screen,
the rounded rectangular
shape of the phone and the
layout of icons on the screen.
At issue was how much
Samsung is required to
compensate Apple under an
1887 law that requires patent
infringers to pay “total profit.”
Apple said that means all the
profits from the phone sales,
while Samsung argued it was
limited to profits related to
the specific components that
were copied.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor
wrote for the court that the
law does not require damages
to be based on the entire
product, but can be limited
to only a component of the
product. The decision over-
turned a ruling from a federal
appeals court in Washington,
which said that Apple was
entitled to all the profits.
But the high court
declined to lay out a specific
test for how such damage
awards should be calculated.
Sotomayor said doing so was
not necessary and the justices
left it up to lower courts to
resolve.
Samsung had argued that
the hefty award ignored the
fact that its phones contain
more than 200,000 other
patents that Apple does not
own. Apple said the verdict
was fair because the iPhone’s
success was directly tied to
its distinctive look.
Samsung already has
handed the $399 million
over to Apple, but was
hoping to get some of that
money back with a favorable
Supreme Court ruling. None
of the early-generation
Samsung phones involved
in the lawsuit remains on the
market.
In a statement, Apple said
the company is optimistic
that lower courts “will again
send a powerful signal that
stealing isn’t right.”
“Our case has always
been
about
Samsung’s
blatant copying of our
ideas, and that was never in
dispute,” the company said.
“We will continue to protect
the years of hard work that
has made iPhone the world’s
most innovative and beloved
product.”
Samsung in a statement
called the ruling a victory
“for all those who promote
creativity, innovation and fair
competition in the market-
place.”

The patent battle between
the technology titans was
being closely watched by
other industry giants. Compa-
nies including Google,
Facebook and eBay sided
with Samsung, arguing that
the verdict was an excessive
windfall for copying a few
features of the iPhone.
On the other side, sports-
wear manufacturer Adidas
and jewelry maker Tiffany
& Co. said allowing Apple
to recover all the profits
Samsung earned would
discourage “design pirates”
and protect companies that
invest in creative designs.
“This removes a threat for
technology companies,” said
Janelle Waack, a Washington,
D.C., lawyer specializing in
patent law. “The products
that incorporate technology
are not automatically going
to get stung with a patent
infringement suit that’s going
to cost them all of the profits
from their product.”

HONOLULU — Lauren
Bruner was getting ready for
church in 1941 on his battle-
ship, the USS Arizona, when
the alarm sounded.
The Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor had begun, and
Bruner, then 21, scampered
up five stories by ladder to
the enormous anti-aircraft
guns he was responsible for
manning.
But bullets hit his left leg
and explosions set off by the
Sunday morning bombard-
ment rocked his ship before
he could get to the weapons.
The ship sank just nine
minutes later. Bruner escaped,
but suffered severe burns.
This week Bruner, now
96, plans to visit a memorial
over the Arizona’s sunken
wreckage and attend a
remembrance ceremony at
Pearl Harbor on the 75th
anniversary of the Dec. 7,
1941, attack.
Bruner has traveled from
his Southern California home
for the events many times,
but doesn’t know how long
the Arizona’s few remaining
survivors will able to keep up
the tradition.
“It’s getting close to being
the end pretty soon. There’s
only five of us left now,”
Bruner said.
More
than
2,300
servicemen died in the
Japanese attack that plunged
the United States into World
War II. Nearly half of those
killed were on the Arizona,
most still entombed in the
wreckage.
The Navy and National
Park Service expect several
dozen attack survivors to
attend the remembrance
ceremony Wednesday on a
pier overlooking the harbor.
They, along with thousands of
others, will observe a moment
of silence at 7:55 a.m. — the
same minute the Japanese
planes hit their first target in
the harbor.
Back then, in 1941,
Bruner didn’t know who was
attacking until the planes got
close enough for him to see
the red Rising Sun Japanese
insignia on their sides. The
aircraft shot at “everything
in sight,” he said. Then an
explosion tore through his
battle station.
“That’s where the flames
blew right through and
cooked me right there,”
Bruner said in a telephone
interview from his home in
La Mirada, California.
With
“everything
burning,” Bruner tried to get
off the ship as fast as he could.
But the water in the harbor 80
feet below — infused with
leaked oil — was on fire, too,
so jumping wasn’t an option.
Bruner and a few fellow
shipmates shouted to a sailor
on the ship moored next to
the Arizona to toss over some
rope. The six of them tied the
rope and carried themselves
hand-over-hand across the
100-foot expanse to the USS
Vestal.
“You’re like a chicken
getting
barbecued,”
he
said. All of them made it,
becoming six of the 335
sailors and Marines on the
Arizona to survive. Another
1,177 shipmates died.
Doctors on the USS
Solace hospital ship wanted
to amputate most of Bruner’s
hands, leaving him with just
his forefingers and thumbs, he
said. Ultimately they peeled
off his dead skin and let new
skin grow in. They put him in
a special bed with hoops that
allowed sheets to be draped
above him but not touch him.
Navy documents recently
uncovered by the genealogy
and
historical
records
company Ancestry show
Bruner suffered burns on his
face and the back of his neck,
his right shoulder, right arm
and forearm, fingers, hands,
outer thighs and lower legs.
The burns on his right
arm were particularly severe
and took longer to heal,
according to the documents,
which Ancestry has posted
in a special section for Pearl
Harbor survivors within its
military records site Fold3.
com.
Bruner spent seven months
recovering but returned to
service, he said, because the
Navy needed sailors to train
new recruits to fight the war.
He was on the USS Coghlan
when it bombed Japanese
positions on Attu Island in
Alaska in 1943. His ship
later took troops to the South
Pacific and was near Guam
when the war ended.
He doesn’t like to rehash
many details from Dec. 7. He
said he just “grins and bears
it” to cope with the memories.
“There are parts of this
whole thing that I can’t talk
about. If I do talk about it, I
cannot sleep,” he said.
Bruner wants his ashes
interred inside his old battle-
ship after he dies, like many
other Arizona survivors who
have chosen to be buried with
their shipmates. Bruner said
he prefers this to lying in a
sparsely visited cemetery.
“I think I’ve got the last
spot,” he said, expressing
confidence he’ll be the last of
the survivors to go.
