Bloomberg has actually learned that Apple has built a. Or has started a secret research lab in Taiwan this year. We talked to people familiar with the matter listing at least 50 engineers and what they're focused on are new display technology so obviously the downside to that is that if Apple is able to reduce their dependence on the likes of Japan display sharp then that doesn't bode well for their businesses. But it obviously brings in at least improves the margin as far as that is concerned because they don't have to buy anymore from the outside so I believe this special building is in the Long Tan Science Park. I think what Bloomberg did was we tried to talk to the receptionist we talked to the security guards and they were they kept mum on who and who's to the building belong to. We understand it. Apple bought this from a local display supplier you tonics and Qualcomm but as to what those and where those engineers are hard what they're hard to do within the building. Obviously the reception isn't against security guards did not comment. That's what Apple itself. It's interesting that they're keeping it very quiet. But that is why we take things up. What are our jobs exactly. Look Samsung they're trying to overturn this patent decision in which they have to pay Apple big bucks as part of their profits as part of its patent case that they lost all the way up to the Supreme Court. They're going to even hear the case. Yeah well if they hear the case that would be the first case I believe the Supreme Court hears on patent patent legislation in 120 years. I think what Samsung is basically asking that was even before the phone right almost. It was spoons actually they was spoons and carpets. Let's get to this petition. Can we get. I think we have a graphic which shows what Samsung is asking for. So what they're saying is they're challenging the scope of the design patent law. The last time they actually did this was an 18 90 so this is part of the argument that the design might not be the essential feature of a spoon or a rug but it's not true for smartphones which are completely different inventions. Right. And I guess if you're curious why they're doing this is the last time the Supreme Court review the case when it comes to this was in 1890. I think that was when we're talking about carpets in 1870 when they were talking much spoon handles .
