Message: Tony Blevins vs Samsung

Some words from Tony Blevins here...

1:16 p.m.: It’s Apple’s turn again. Apple calls Tony Blevins, its vice president of procurement and a 12-year Apple veteran. He oversees getting parts for the iPhone, iPad and iPod lines and supervises some 300 employees.

He’s testifying about the baseband processor, the product that does the functions that is accused of infringing Samsung’s standards-related patents. Apple gets its processors today from Intel and Qualcomm. Historically, Intel was only provider of those chips.

1:24 p.m.: Blevins testifies that Apple pays intel an amount that varies per quarter, but is on the order of $12 per chip. He then shows a few example reciepts.
