I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

And an argument can be made that this case is not as important as its being made out in the media. It's more a validation of the level of innovation that Apple brought to bear on the creation of the first iPhone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 2\u003c/strong>: Another opinion, from Mark Lemley, who teaches at Stanford Law School and specializes in intellectual property law.

But at some point, Judge Koh is going to sit down and grant a permanent injunction against the products that have been found to infringe, and it may cover not just the Samsung products at issue in this case, which are older versions of some of their phones and tablets, but it may prevent Samsung from including some of these design elements and features even in their future products.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Both sides were ordered to pay limited damages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"analysis\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update\u003c/strong>: We spoke to David Bailey, a partner at the intellectual property law firm KPPB in Anaheim. Bailey said that it's possible the judge could increase the damages by up to a factor of three, to $3 billion, because the jury found Samsung's infringement was willful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Bailey also said that even that number would still be well within the ability of Samsung to absorb. He also said that Samsung is a critical supplier to Apple in the manufacturer of the iPhone, so \"at the end of the day, these two companies need to be able to work together for Apple to continue producing its products,\" meaning there is considerable motivation for both companies to settle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Furthermore, Bailey said, most of the Samsung products at issue are \"very old products that are no longer being sold by Samsung anyway.\" Bailey said he thought many of the patent-infringing elements of those products had been eliminated in redesigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In light of all that, we asked him why this case was considered to be so important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The case is certainly high profile and has attracted a great deal of attention, I think because the iPhone has been such an iconic product that revolutionized the smartphone market,\" he said. \"But the reality is, is that both companies are well beyond the life cycles of the products that are the subjects of these disputes. And an argument can be made that this case is not as important as its being made out in the media. It's more a validation of the level of innovation that Apple brought to bear on the creation of the first iPhone.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 2\u003c/strong>: Another opinion, from Mark Lemley, who teaches at Stanford Law School and specializes in intellectual property law. He says the verdict's real damage to Samsung will come if Judge Koh grants an injunction blocking sale of Samsung products that infringe on Apple patents. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
