Comment An interesting penalty... (Score 4, Insightful) 138

Facebook broke the law. As punishment, Facebook has to promise not to do it again, and be monitored to make sure it keeps its promise.

Comment Lawsuit seeks injunction against sale, news at 11 (Score 1) 271

Pretty much all of the dozens of ongoing patent lawsuits try to block imports, because generally that's the best way to do damage even if you can't ultimately win the suit (which is likely, given the propensity of settlements, not that the injuctions are much more common – the threats just make for good headlines). The only one to succeed so far is Apple's suit, which was based on design patents rather than technical patents (as Samsung's seem to be).
