"The right strategy for the smartphone industry is not the global war before the courts, but a competition just on the market."

Global has yet - war like Apple - powered Samsung chaining cases submitted to courts of the United States and other countries. With a ratio of force generally favorable to Apple, according to it: "With today's decision, the ITC has joined the courts of the world, in the Japan, in Korea, Germany, the Netherlands and California in their defense of innovation and the rejection of flagrant copying of products Apple by Samsung."

Quite unlikely, given that the Californian company is victorious again, and that patent rejected by the ITC are deemed "non-essential".
