Apple-Samsung court verdict under cloud as jury foreman found to have own smartphone patents
The jury foreman in Apple's landmark legal victory over Samsung, has a patent in his own name for a device that can be used in smart phones and tablets, it has emerged.
Velvin Hogan reportedly filed documents with the US Patent Office in 2002 for the 'method and apparatus for recording and storing video information'.
This also included technology for a wireless keyboard to allow users to surf the web and order films on demand, a feature, which is already available on Apple iPads.

Shouldn't he have declared his "interest" and had himself discharged from the jury ?
