Vanity Fair’s Overview of the Apple-Samsung Patent Wars

Excellent article in Vanity Fair recounting the history of the Apple-Samsung patent dispute. Here’s Samsung’s take on intellectual property from the mouth of a lawyer who used to represent them:

“They never met a patent they didn’t think they might like to use, no matter who it belongs to,” says Sam Baxter, a patent lawyer who once handled a case for Samsung. “I represented [the Swedish telecommunications company] Ericsson, and they couldn’t lie if their lives depended on it, and I represented Samsung and they couldn’t tell the truth if their lives depended on it.”
