Apple vs Samsung, court orders Samsung to show Apple 5 new phones

Apple crumbles, shares are down, everything isn't going their way lately.

Really cheer me reading Apple lost it's appeal.

Common sense prevails at last.

5 years ago I loved Apple products, but now they are my pet hate. Each new generation is merely The Emporors New Clothes. They no longer innovate, they just litorgate whenever the competition releases a better product.

I am not saying that Samsung are the best tablet/mobile phone producer in the world, but I do prefer them to Apple. Even if pricing was the same I would still buy a decent Android phone/tab over an iPhone/iPad.

Apple should spend more time deveoping their prehistoric square-icon only dumbed down IOS, and less time in the Court Room.

Some people on another blog were saying how Apple will turn this around because their marketing people know what they're doing. The ruling says they can't use font smaller than 14 point Arial but those people were saying that Apple will flip it on the law in a way to give them better advantage.

I have no idea how they will be able to do it but I have this feeling they will :/

Wont the ad need to be approved by the courts/samsung?

Well the ruling only says they must state that Samsung didn't copy them and they can't use anything smaller than 14pt Arial unless there's something I misread!

"They didn't copy us, that's why their tablet isn't as cool as ours."

I cant find it quoted anywhere, but I would hazard a guess that the court nor Samsung would be happy if they tried to twist it.

Would be a brave move if they did.

Apple are losing right left and centre at the moment.

UK
Korea
Japan
US (ban over turned, possible retrial)
Germany (loss over push email)

Its always a very risky business for apple, even if they win against samsung it takes samsung 5mins to change and bring out a new SIII+ or something. But if 1 judge goes against apple oh well.

AndyCr15 · 19 Oct 2012 at 23:04

Or even when they win, Samsung sales go up...

Seems Apples hard handed tactics are coming to roost!

Apple have given Samsung the kind of exposure they would only dream of, you have to wonder had they not of gone thermonuclear war just how much of the court room shenanigans would have gone unnoticed.

Japanese court rules that Apple did not infringe on two of Samsung’s patents:

The tide of the patent war seems to be turning against Apple lately - the latest victim is the patent of the rubber band effect when you reach the end of a list while scrolling (most often referred to as overscroll-bounce).

Apple used that patent to force Android makers to remove the feature from their phones. That's also why Google went with the glow at the end of lists. This patent was used in the big Apple vs. Samsung case too.

Anyway, as of recently, the patent was rejected by the United States Patent and Trademark Office on the grounds of lacking novelty and being obvious (that is, it's nothing new and it's an apparent consequence of something that already exists).

And the streak continues. Lets see if they appeal.

Glaucus · 23 Oct 2012 at 14:09

Finall, why can't they do this before all the big cases. This is what needs to happen, patents need to be confirmed or rejected, not just stuck on the patent books regardless.

That's going to have a big effect on the Samsung-apple trial as well.
