I understand the monetary reasons why apple would want to continue with this and not put it on hold but I am curious to see how this pans out. Maybe by putting it on hold Apple will be able to focus their efforts elsewhere, or maybe they just build a stronger case against samsung? By the time this case resumes we all know apple and samsung will have newer and better products on the market. I find it fascinating that an infringement on six patents resulted in a 1.05 Billion dollar pay check for Apple. Had these patents not been infringed upon would Apple have generated this amount is sales?
It is very interesting to know if these companies are more concerned with sales during this time or the payout they would get from a lawsuit. I think it varies in each situation.
