Will Siri be called as a witness?

I hope Siri gets to testify.

March 2014????

I don't know why; but somehow the repeated posting of this photograph of some judge just seems really immature and lame and super dumb and poopy-poop.

Why don't you find a nice photo of Cook and a photo of Kwon, splice them together and photoshop a knife into each ones hand. Use that as standard byline photo instead.

What did Samsung copy from Siri. S voice is just a Vlingo client and the licenses go to Vlingo so samsung would be free from any lawsuit for that.

Vlingo existed before Siri if memory holds true. Plus why not go after Vlingo? They are licensing the technology to Samsung and others. So if the infringement does exist why not go after the source?

Good gosh.  So many sites echoing the same nonsense headline.

There is nothing in this lawsuit about Siri VOICE technology or Vlingo or anything like that.

The closest thing to being about Siri, is the patent that is often dubbed "the universal search patent", which is about searching both local storage and remote sites.

(I have explained that patent before.  The poor construction of its primary claim was the basis for a three judge panel denying Apple's request for an injunction on the Galaxy Nexus, and later refusing Apple's appeal for an en banc review of that denial.)

The only truly Siri related patent case that I know of right now, is the one that was filed against Apple from two Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Professors, as reported here by Patently Apple last October.

"...Judge Koh ordered that both parties "significantly" streamline their assertions but paring down the number of claims and associated expert testimony. "

BY, not BUT.
