Apple vs Samsung "Proxy War"

Apple to jury: iPhone changed everything—then Samsung built knockoffs | Ars Technica

"It was a presentation that would have made Steve Jobs proud. Just as Jobs knew how to stun the public and the press with a shiny new Apple product, Apple lawyer Harold McElhinny was smooth and direct in his presentation. Using big bold slides, and a bit of video to show off the best features, he laid out a simple version of smartphone history that put his client at the center: Apple came first. Imitators like Samsung followed. And now it's time for them to pay up."

The most interesting part is that this in fact is a proxy war with Google's Android.
Like Vietnam and Korea proxy wars between USA and USSR...
Who wins such wars?
