According to 67-year-old Velvin Hogan, the foreman in the jury that decided the case between the Apple and Samsung, one of the turning points in group's journey to a verdict came after some deep thinking at home.
"I was at home thinking about that patent claim by claim, I had an aha! moment," Hogan told Bloomberg TV in an interview this afternoon. "I suddenly decided that I could defend this if it was my patent -- I took that story back to the jury, and then we meticulously went patent by patent, claim by claim."
The patent in question was Samsung's '460 patent, which covers the capability to take a photo, review it in a gallery application, then pop it into an e-mail. Hogan says the group originally hit a snag in the decision-making process when some jurors became confused at how exactly it worked.
