So this is the same case being tried in front of Judge Koh?
I'm not sure what patents in particular they say are being infringed here, but it can't be the trade dress stuff -- Samsung's stuff have moved away from being obvious ripoffs of Apple's products and the Galaxy SIII looks no more like an iPhone than any other smartphone from any other manufacturer.
If it's the pinch-to-zoom and bounce-back patents (etc) then it shouldn't be hard for Samsung to issue an update to workaround those patents.
In fact, I mentioned in another comment[1] but I'm pretty sure Android (not sure about Samsung's modified version of Android) doesn't infringe on the pinch-to-zoom patent anyway, because Android allows scrolling with two fingers. Obviously, I'm no patent expert, though...
