You know, I might get married, and have a son, and my son might grow
up and get into criminal circles, and his friends might commit a
crime, and they might frame him for the crime, and I might have no
money for a lawyer and investigators, and then he might go to jail,
and he might kill someone in jail, and he'd get the death penalty.
What would I do then?
There is a proverb about the high interest paid on borrowing trouble
which would suit us well for the moment. As it stands, this looks like
a tempest in a tea pot. For anything at all to happen to voiceover the
following would have to have happened first:
1. The German federal patent court would have to find the patent to be
valid in some way. This is already unlikely, the patent has already
been narrowed by Samsung from its previous position, the patent is
very wide as written, and the patent has other problems which are too
many to list here.
2. A second court, of Manheim, would have to find that Apple infringed
the patent as dealt with by Apple, Samsung, and the court.
3. All appeals from the decisions above would have to be given up on or to fail.
4. All negotiations between Apple and Samsung about licensing or
otherwise dealing with the patent would have to fail. Samsung would
have to insist on what they're asking for now, which is for Apple to
stop using the patented technology.
Having said all that, it is not clear what would happen to voiceover
if this patent were upheld because we, or at least I, am not sure what
the patent looks like now that it has been narrowed. The patent as
written originally seems to apply to every single function of a screen
reader for mobile phones as initiated by the user. I haven't seen the
patent as changed or even the patent in German. What it will look like
by the end of this is something nobody knows yet, not even Apple and
Samsung themselves. If you're like me, and insist on worrying about
something or planning for eventualities, I can give you much more
pressing things...
