Shaw Capital Management Factoring and Financings Latest News

Though Samsung told VentureBeat on Tuesday the company had “no notice”  Apple was requesting an injunction to ban the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in Europe, a report today says Samsung knew what Apple was up to.

FOSS Patents‘ Florian Mueller has obtained a revealing press release from the Düsseldorf district court, which blocked the Galaxy Tab 10.1 from sale in the EU. The release shows that about a week before Apple filed its injunction, Samsung filed a “Schutzschrift,” a protective pleading that companies normally file when anticipating a preliminary injunction.

“While it’s true that they weren’t put on notice and that there wasn’t any hearing, Samsung wasn’t forthright enough to admit that it had filed a protective pleading,” Mueller wrote. “Samsung wasn’t blindsided — Samsung knew it had this coming, and the court’s decision was based on both Apple’s motion and Samsung’s preemptive opposition pleading.”

The news comes the same day a date has been set for Samsung to appeal the German court’s decision. Samsung will go to court on Aug. 25 to try to convince it to unblock the sale of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 throughout Europe (excluding the Netherlands). As of now, Samsung can face fines up to $350,000 per unit if it continues to sell the device in the EU.

FOSS’ Mueller thinks Samsung has done itself a considerable disservice by misleading the press on this closely watched story.

“This kind of communication strategy on Samsung’s part is old-school spin doctoring and only serves to strengthen my impression that Samsung is in a legally weak position against Apple,” Mueller wrote. “If Samsung wants to inspire confidence, it has to understand that half the truth is sometimes tantamount to a whole lie.”

Samsung certainly doesn’t look good in this position, but we will see what happens Aug. 25. Samsung did not respond immediately to VentureBeat’s request for an official comment.

Apple and Samsung have been legally sparring since April, when Apple filed a lawsuit in the U.S. concerning the company’s Galaxy Android smartphones and Galaxy Tab. Apple argued Samsung’s devices heavily imitated the iPhone and iPad. Samsung filed a counter-suit against Apple, but the battle also extended to the U.S. International Trade Commission, which can block the importation of devices into the U.S.

D. E. Shaw & Co. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia [Shaw Capital Management]

D. E. Shaw & Co., L.P. is a global investment and technology development firm founded byDavid E. Shaw and based in New York City.^[1]

Description

The firm was founded by David E. Shaw, a former Columbia University faculty member and has more than 1,200 employees worldwide. The focus of its activities is "the intersection between technology and finance,"^{[citation needed]} and it applies quantitative and qualitative trading strategies to hedge fund management and other investments, including venture capital, real estate, and private equity.

In August 1996, Fortune described the firm as "perhaps the most intriguing and mysterious force on Wall Street". Over the following decade, Shaw grew to manage nearly $40 billion in aggregate capital and was once among the world's largest hedge funds as measured by assets under management.^[2] In mid-2011 its core hedge funds had approximately $15 billion dollars in investment capital. ^[3]"Wall Street's King Quant David Shaw's Secret Formulas Pile Up Money. Now He Wants a Piece of the Net.", February 5, 1996, Fortune magazine</ref>^[3]

The D. E. Shaw group has made a conscious effort to build a carefully selected team of extraordinarily gifted professionals, each among the very best in his or her profession, rather than a larger group of highly competent but less obviously remarkable personnel. To this end, the firm continues to allocate an unusually large portion of its operating budget to the identification and recruitment of truly exceptional individuals who might significantly add to its capabilities. Hiring is extremely selective, with only one candidate in several hundred ultimately invited to join the firm. The company's personnel includes a number of Rhodes, Fulbright, and Marshall Scholars, Putnam Fellows, and the winners of more than 20 medals in the International Math Olympiad. It maintains offices in Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East.^[3]

D. E. Shaw supports educational programs such as Math-M-Addicts (teachers are D. E. Shaw & Co. employees),^{[citation needed]}American Regions Mathematics League^[4] Worldwide Online Olympiad Training (WOOT), United States of America Mathematics Olympiad and theInternational Mathematics Olympiad, Mathematical Olympiad Program, the MIT 6.370 Battlecode Competition,^[5] and The Center for Excellence in Education^[6]

[edit]History

In 1997, the firm returned capital to most of its early investors in favor of a structured credit facility of nearly $2 billion from Bank of America, with terms that allowed Shaw to keep a higher fraction of profits than hedge fund investors normally allow.^{[citation needed]}After the Russian debt default in 1998, Shaw, like Long-Term Capital Management (LTCM) and many other hedge funds, suffered significant losses in its fixed-income trading.^{[citation needed]}Shaw suffered a couple of lean years thereafter, but attracted new investors as its investment performance recovered.^{[citation needed]}

Many of D. E. Shaw's headline-making transactions are related to investments in real estate, wind power, and bankrupt companies with valuable assets.^{[citation needed]} In December 2003, a subsidiary of one of the D. E. Shaw group funds acquired the toy store FAO Schwarz, which reopened for business in New York and Las Vegas in the fall of 2004. In the same year, D. E. Shaw affiliate Laminar Portfolios acquired the online assets of KB Toys, which continued operating as eToys.com.^[7] In August 2004, D. E. Shaw along with MIC Capital, proposed to inject $50M into the bankrupt WCI Steel. In December 2004, Shaw bought 6.6% of USG Corp, a wallboard manufacturer seeking bankruptcy protection as a result of rising asbestos liabilities.

In 2006, Lawrence Summers became managing director at D.E. Shaw until 2008, receiving at least $5.2 million in compensation during that period, according to a 2009 report.^[8][9] [10]

In addition to its financial businesses, the D. E. Shaw group has provided private equity capital to technology-related business ventures, including Juno Online Services, an Internet access provider.^{[citation needed]}

In 2007, David Shaw sold a 20% minority stake in the Shaw group to Lehman Brothers, as part of a broader strategy to diversify his own holdings.^{[citation needed]}

Early in 2010 D.E. Shaw set up its Portfolio Acquisitions Unit, the aim of which was to acquire illiquid assets from rival hedge funds.^[11]
