What will the immediate consequences be, if the injunction actually goes into effect? I have a ton of questions about this, but basically:
- Will Samsung/Google just tweak the software to get around the patent, and continue shipping?
- Could Samsung ship the device sans-Software, and have a US based facility install the OS to get around this?
- What is the appeal process that Google/Samsung can take? That is, when Samsung files the appeal, how long does it take to be reviewed and considered? Can Apple appeal an appeal?
- What is the meaning of this 2014 court date?
- What defines the "Galaxy Nexus"? Could they change the colors on it, or tweak the case, and call it a different device to continue shipping?
Of course, any answers are basically speculation at this point, but mostly I want to get a feel for some of the possible avenues that the parties have to take.
