We each have our own perspectives, I guess.

Samsung is using our legal system the way it was designed by its creators. If the U.S. government thinks that Samsung's use of the system is abusive, it can change the system to prevent that kind of behavior.

There are people who believe that it's an abuse of our legal system to get criminals set free on legal technicalities. I disagree with them. If you don't like the legal maneuvering, get the laws changed to prevent that sort of thing. Don't complain about lawyers and technologists using the law the way it was written.

But you'll find that I'm pretty unsympathetic to the entire U.S. patent system anyway. 90% of these patent suits are filed over trivial BS that should never have been patentable in the first place (bouncy screens on smartphones anyone?)
