Computer scientists come to Samsung’s aid in patent trial

In the ongoing Apple v. Samsung patent trial on Tuesday, Samsung continued its defense against by calling on a cavalcade of computer science experts who testified that Apple’s patents were not novel, should not have been granted or did not apply to alleged infringing products. Samsung’s day in court was filled with highly technical testimony as counsel used the time to bolster a defense that Apple’s five patents-in-suit are not colorably different from prior art, irrelevant and not worth $2.19 billion in damages.
