Samsung has a tremendous history of Innovation[Just look at their SIII or Galaxy Note];I am extremely confident they will come back from this real fast and get better than ever. Ashish, I like your analysis and agree. We have not seen the end of Apple/Samsung patent law suits. I do agree however that Samsung does have the potential to turn this situation round quickly.
We have some way to go before Samsung heads to ICA.
First I expect this Judgement to be appealed in the Supreme Court(in the US);while similar cases in Korea and Europe to go to closure.
After that they may challenge this judgement at the WTO panel and Once that happens then maybe Samsung may consider heading to the ICA.
Basically as I said,its a long and bruising war with the ultimate victors being the Lawyers(everyone else loses).
Personally,I think Samsung should just suck up and forget about it and move on.
The Products likely to banned are anyways old/obsolete;so might as well pull them off the shelves of US markets pre-emptively.
Even the Costs of the Judgement can be easily managed by their Balance Sheet(its that strong).

What I also forsee happening is Samsung hedges bets in the OS wars going ahead.
With an injunction to be decided against selling Samsung phone brands in US in September, it would probably change the course of market race soon. Do you think Samsung would head to International court of Arbitration?

Peter Drucker famously said "Trying to predict the future is like trying to drive down a country road at night with no lights while looking out the back window." Yet in the razor's-edge world of electronics—with a lean supply chain and just-in-time demands—the need to know the future is vital.
While no one really can accurately predict the future, we can take guidance from another Drucker saying which is the best way to predict the future is to create it.
You've heard the saying "the No. 1 supply chain risk is your people." That hasn't always been the case. But today's complex global supply chain requires a new type of multitalented employee. It's one who understands, finance, marketing, economics, is savvy with technology, graceful with relationships and can think analytically.
Where are these people? Are universities properly preparing the next generation supply chain professionals? How do train your existing workforce for these new, demanding positions?
Brian Fuller, editor-in-chief of EBN, will lead a 60-minute Avnet Velocity panel discussion that will ask and answer these and other questions swirling around today's supply-chain talent challenges.
