&gt; Samsung has already changed their design to avoid any more of Apple&#x27;s patents, making any future litigation impossible.<p>All the comments about the dollar value of this suit are missing this point. I would assume Apple cares much more about sending a message to Samsung and others that they feel are simply copying their innovations. And if it gets their competitors to change their behavior and differentiate themselves, then the lawsuits are probably worth Apple&#x27;s investment.
