 The patent trial of the century is getting a sequel. Hopefully they don't leave it open for a trilogy. I'm TC Sotic, and this is 90 seconds on the Verge. Apple and Samsung returned to court this week for round two of its patent infringement court battle. The first trial, which ended less than two years ago, saw Apple convince jurors that Samsung made billions of dollars copying the iPhone. So what's different this time around? Simpler patents, for one. Apple will try to convince the court that Samsung wholesale copied many of the features found in the original iPhone, including slide to unlock and universal search. The other big difference is Google. Samsung signed a broad cross-licensing agreement with Google last January, and now Samsung is arguing Google independently developed many of the software features Apple has accused it of copying. Apple will still paint itself as a huge risk taker with the launch of the original iPhone, while Samsung will suggest Apple is being a bully trying to stifle competition. It's worth noting that of the almost 20 products listed, only a handful are still on sale. Most have been retired. It also doesn't cover any of the company's latest products since the lawsuit was filed in 2012 and only just made it to trial. Ultimately, this case isn't about money. The financial damage both sides are asking for is relative chump change for the tech companies. This is about Apple and Samsung, two extremely bitter rivals, battling it out in every venue imaginable. It's the hangover part two of sequels. More of the same with just a little more Google this time around. For more on Apple versus Samsung, check out The Verge. Coming up, two star-crossed lovers, one an Apple executive, the other a Samsung VP, fall in love amidst a heated battle between two rival families. Love, tragedy, and patents collide.
