__Apple’s Industrial Design Process in Detail:__ On Monday, Apple industrial designer Christopher Stringer took to the stand as Apple’s first witness. Stringer, who’s worked at Apple for almost 17 years, provided some unique insights into Apple’s design process. “Our role is to imagine products that don’t exist and guide them to life,” Stringer said of the role of Apple's ID team. Above is an early iPhone prototype with clipped corners.

__Samsung Releases Excluded Exhibits to the Public:__ On Tuesday, Samsung lawyer John Quinn [sent out a public statement](http://allthingsd.com/20120731/samsung-goes-public-with-excluded-evidence-to-undercut-apples-design-claims/) decrying Judge Koh’s decision to let Apple say a particular Samsung smartphone, the F700, was an iPhone copy. In retaliation, Samsung publicly released two batches of evidence Koh had ordered be excluded from the case. Judge Koh wasn't pleased when she learned this had happened later that day: “Tell Mr. Quinn I’d like to see him today,” Koh said. “I want to know who drafted the press release, who authorized it from the legal team.”

__Apple’s Proposed Solution Is Summary Victory:__ Apple’s legal team was quick to act when Samsung released a series of excluded exhibits to the public early this week. On Thursday, it filed a document in response to Samsung lawyer John Quinn’s declaration. ”Apple requests that the Court issue sanctions granting judgment that Apple’s asserted phone design patent claims are valid and infringed by Samsung,” the filing states. You read that correctly – to rectify Samsung's document-releasing mischief, Apple is asking that it basically be awarded summary victory for its design patent claims. Fat chance of that happening. Above, a favorite iPhone prototype of Samsung's case – the mockup has Sony branding.
