Apple 117 A Clash between IT Giants and the Changing Face of International Law: The Samsung vs. Apple Litigation and Its Jurisdictional Implications Jaemin Lee There has been a sudden surge in simultaneous legal disputes belween Samsung and Apple in domestic courts of multiple States since 2011 concerning patent infringements involving their new digital products. The intensity of these conr'ontaions between the two digital giants has come to exert significant influence over the lives of many people all over the world. In a sense, they are not competing to protect or increase the market share in a given domestic markel, as other large corporations usually do, raller, they are now competing in a single, integrated global digital market wihere borders and boudaries have virtually disappeared. The emergence of Ie dominant digital entitics is a showcase example of I/e increasing role of the MNCs in e international commmity, an issue that has already attracted a significant amounl of attention f om scholars of international law. At the same time, Ihe unprecedented clash belween I/e two corporations in multiple jurisdictions also raises an important issue of how conventional jurisdictional principles under international law are and will be implicated in this regard.
