Apple/Samsung payout shrinks further (The Register)

The recent $1b case against Samsung which won Apple $548m damages looks to be due a little more shrinkage.
A patent used to win the case appears to be heading for invalidation due to 'Prior Art'.

Maybe Apples wealth cannot buy anything they want ?

Ah - Apple vs Samsung and the American patent system. If you can pass a test on BT's DLM, you might qualify to struggle your way through that one!
It was something I semi-followed, back in the day that PJ and Groklaw were covering things, though I more cared what SCO were doing with their Linux threats. It's a real shame PJ stopped.
Here's an earlier article calling the 677 patent into question:

Thanks for that.
I am reading it but need to be a bit more awake to understand it.
(Too convoluted to just skim it
)
Probably read it in the morning when I am awake & the caffeine has kicked in.
