A Samsung Electronics Co. designer was barred by a federal judge from testifying in Apple Inc.’s multibillion-dollar patent trial over mobile devices, which is entering its third week.
Hyong Shin Park, one of the inventors of Samsung’s F700 phone, didn’t design any of the devices at issue in the case and her testimony is of limited value in evaluating Apple’s “design patents in suit,” U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh said in a ruling filed yesterday in federal court in San Jose, California.
