As you already know very well, yesterday the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), won a lawsuit filed against the Samsung company, obtaining 280 million dollars following this decision. To convince the jury of the trial, those from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), they brought a series of witnesses to support their case, and one of them managed offer enough valid arguments to make them understand that the American company's claims are justified. Julie L. Davis is the name of this witness and we are talking about a certified accountant who managed to explain clearly and with solid arguments why Apple should receive the compensation it is asking for, his statements remaining constant and consistent during the examination made by both sides.
Apple used the same lead lawyers, arguments, and witnesses for this trial as it did last year, with the exception of a new damages expert to replace a witness who died. Jurors said after the verdict that the new expert, Julie L. Davis, a Chicago-based certified public accountant, provided clear evidence they could use to arrive at their damages amount and was unflappable on the stand. "THX. Davis was on it," jury forewoman Colleen Allen, a former US military medic who served a tour in Afghanistan and now runs a mobile blood-collecting business, said in an interview. Davis was a "superstar witness" who remained steady "even when she was cross-examined," Allen said.
Although the Apple company also called the SVP Phil Schiller to support his case in front of the lawyers, the jurors were only convinced by a person who seemed to master the problem very well and knew exactly what he was talking about, being constant in statements, regardless of where the questions came from. Based on people like these, Apple managed to get almost what it wanted from the lawsuit filed against Samsung, and this will help it demonstrate to other companies that patent infringement does not go unpunished.
