Like sands of an hourglass, these are the days of … ridiculous patent lawsuits.

With ridiculous patent lawsuits you get ridiculous trials and when those trials involve multi-billion dollar empires striving for dominance in the mobile arena, the results are, well, ridiculous.

Anybody following the patent trial between Apple against Samsung that began in a California federal court this week knows what I am talking about.

These are the two biggest players in the smartphone and tablet ecosystem and their war over patents has spanned the globe with battles taking place in the likes of Australia, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. All the trials between Apple and Samsung were but a prelude to this showdown. And it is a freaking circus.

Like any war, there are no innocent parties. Apple is guilty for its relentless pursuit to cripple its competition (more or less the entire Android ecosystem). Samsung is guilty for its over-the-top shotgun approach to the mobile market, its devious courtroom antics and, perhaps, even copying Apple’s product designs.
