We are surprised by the decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Earlier this year, a panel of the same court found that Samsung had not infringed any valid Apple patent. But today the court reached a different conclusion. Samsung agrees with Judge Dyk\u2019s dissenting opinion that \u201cthis case is not a closed one\u201d in view of the \u201cflimsy\u201d evidence supporting the majority\u2019s opinion and \u201ctrivial nature\u201d of Apple\u2019s alleged innovations.<\/p>\n
The majority\u2019s opinion makes significant changes in patent law, and we share the concerns of all three dissenting judges that the majority\u2019s decision to not only review en banc, but also exclude Samsung or other relevant stakeholders from participating in the process, was extraordinary and virtually unprecedented. We agree with Judge Reyna that the process employed creates the “potential to damage our system of justice.” Samsung is reviewing the Court\u2019s decision and we are looking carefully at the possibility of Supreme Court review. This decision reduces consumer choice through rulings in the courtroom rather competition in the marketplace.<\/p>\n
