"FORTUNE &amp;#8212;\u00A0FOSS Patents&amp;#8216; Florian Mueller has been reading through the motions Apple \n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tAAPL\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t and Samsung filed in advance of their upcoming patent trial in the Northern District of California and has come across a few interesting tidbits.\nBoth sides want to exclude some of the things that have been written about them.\nSamsung doesn&amp;#8217;t want the jury to hear anything from\u00A0&amp;#8220;Apple related blogs, and articles by non-expert newspaper reporters, regarding any assessment of Apple and Samsung and/or their products.&amp;#8221; It also wants to exclude testimony from Apple&amp;#8217;s\u00A0expert on consumer decision making,\u00A0Sanjay Sood, who &amp;#8212; using a familiar Apple trope &amp;#8212; described the company as having design in its DNA.\nApple goes even further. It wants to exclude any &amp;#8220;argument or evidence regarding statements attributed to Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson in his\u00A0biography.&amp;#8221;\nThat&amp;#8217;s a lot of evidence &amp;#8212; 656 pages worth, if you count the whole thing. And it means the jury will not hear &amp;#8212; if they haven&amp;#8217;t already &amp;#8212; the most explosive thing Jobs ever said on the record about Google&amp;#8217;s \n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\tGOOG\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t Android, the operating system in Samsung&amp;#8217;s smartphones and the issue at the heart of the case:\n&amp;#8220;Our lawsuit is saying, &amp;#8216;Google you f***ing ripped off the iPhone, wholesale ripped us off. Grand theft,'&amp;#8221; Jobs told Isaacson the day Apple filed its first anti-Android suit.\n&amp;#8220;I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple&amp;#8217;s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I&amp;#8217;m going to destroy Android, because it&amp;#8217;s a stolen product. I&amp;#8217;m willing to go thermonuclear war on this. They are scared to death, because they know they are guilty.&amp;#8221;\nHow much fun will this trial be if the judge agrees to exclude that?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
