The Jury ordered that Samsung pay Apple $1049343540 in damages. Samsung who originally filed a lawsuit walked away with a grand total of $0. During the trial the jury found no infringement by Apple on any of Samsungs utility parents. However the jury found that Samsung infringed on patents “381 bounce back” for the way you scroll on Apple devices and also on “915” to do with finger scrolling and the two to pinch and zoom navigation and also Apples 163 patent tap to zoom. The judge originally issued Apple with $1051855000 but the judge sent them back to talk about two of the
Pearson then claimed that the found pants were not his because they had cuffs, and sued the Chungs for $67 million. Issues, Laws and Verdict Roy Pearson sued the Chungs claiming that the Chungs violated D.C. consumer protection laws (Consumer Protection Procedures Act or CPPA). Specifically, that the Chungs committed fraud because they did not live up to the promise of a “Satisfaction Guaranteed” sign hanging in the store (Bartnoff, 2007, p. 1). In her “Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law” on the case, Judge Bartnoff (2007) wrote that Pearson expected, “an unconditional warranty that required the defendants to honor any claim by any customer, without limitation, based on the customer’s determination of whatever would make that customer ”satisfied.”” (p. 1) Included in the suit were claims that he had been subject to “mental suffering, inconvenience and discomfort” at the hands of the Chungs (O’Rourke, 2007 p.10). So Pearson sued for common law fraud and violations of the CPPA, but did he present enough evidence to support his claims in court?
Chapter 13 Case Study: Playing “Chicken” with Gay Marriage 8 February 2015 1) Was the CEO wise in making his anti-gay marriage views known, exposing his company to such controversy? I don’t think that Mr. Cathy was wise in voicing his views the way he did. Since Chick-Fil-A has been around it has had a reputation as a faith-based company, so most people already assumed the beliefs he threw in the public’s face. Two years after the controversy exploded, Huffington Post published a follow-up article about the incident. “Chick-fil-A President and CEO Dan Cathy apparently laments getting the fast-food chain involved in the debate over marriage equality, but he isn't taking back his anti-gay comments (Sieczkowski, 2014).” Cathy also stated, “Every leader goes through different phases of maturity, growth and development and it helps by recognizing the mistakes that you make,” Cathy told the AJC.
Amazingly, Ramos, who had already been charged twice with being drunk in public and once with a DUI, walked away from the accident with nothing but a swollen cheek. This horrific tragedy is described in a report on the WAVY TV 10 local news channel in Virginia found on the website http://www.wavy.com/global/story (1). A question arises, and that is to why the illegal immigrant was not deported after his first conviction. This is because Virginia law protects people from having immigration checks run through if the offender is only charged with a misdemeanor (Frank 2). In a heated debate on the “O’Reilly Factor,” between talk show host Bill O’Reilly and journalist Geraldo Rivera, the issue was being pulled in a game of Tug-O-War.
If they let that happen to Meredith, we don't need an American flag (Street, 2013).” It was against the law in New York to desecrate or speak against the flag; he was arrested, charged, and convicted. He lost all his state appeals and was finally heard by the Supreme Court on October 21, 1968. The Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision overturned the conviction under the grounds that it was

In my opinion, all this cannot do without Tony Hsieh, the CEO of Zappos. He invested $350 million of his own money to change downtown Las Vegas, encountered the dilemma of out of money twice, helped company make it through and finally made a profit, and he even rejected a buyout offer by Amazon until Amazon had come to appreciate their company culture as well as their strong sales. He mentioned in Emily Yellin’s book that “while there [was] this kind of [daydream] of the best service here, we still [had] to make [a decision] at the end of the day. We still [had] financial goals to make, your call was important to us. [And] we still [had] to look at P&L statements, and a balance sheet, and [figured] out what [were] the best place to invest our resources to have the biggest return.” With the outstanding leadership of him, Zappos gradually built up its own brand effect which is famous for its brilliant customer service.

Furthermore, the manual permits, “The Private Security Coordinator may reprimand a licensee as hereinafter provided. Any violation of any regulation or rule found in this manual is cause for disciplinary action” (Beauchamp 32-33). After reading this, Tuff believed that his license could be revoked for any failure to report illegal behavior such as drunk driving. Fourteen months after Tuff joined the company, Blue Mountain issued new rules assigning duties to security guards to allow people to leave the mall under the influence of alcohol. Tuff immediately spoke out in opposition to the new rules.
