Apple vs Samsung, court orders Samsung to show Apple 5 new phones
- Thread starter mrk
- Start date
Read the thread, read the patents, read the licensing to Ms, apples praise for nokia etc.
It is not like you say.
They won and when you actually sit down and read about the analysis, they where always going to win the amount they where. As samsung where blatantly using apples patents.
If those patents should have existed, is another question. But while patent laws stands as it is, then that's the law.

The amount of iSheep here is frankly pathetic.
Yep,and I actually like a number of their products too(their laptops for example). Some of my mates own iPhones themselves and TBH they just think all this fighting over minor features is pointless themselves and they are not even techies too!

Im not a <fanboi> of Samsung or Apple, in the end they are all just gizmos. Heck doesnt Samsung make the screens for Apples gadgets?
Anyway what I dont like was were this lawsuit took place - Silicon Valley. Umm hello...Legendary US company vs South Korean company....held in Apples backyard where Jobs was/still is/always will be regarded as Tech Uber-Guru...and the jury found in favour of Apple?
Whoo...**suuuurprriiiiseee**
I still think its baffling how you can patent a rectangle with round edges..and even worse the touch-zoom (pinch) gesture on a touchscreen. I gather Apple was NOT the first to do this. So how were their patents granted?

It was held in Korea too.... The ruling there was of course, very different.
There's mor et the patents than that.
You can go to court and get patents overturned. If they thought it was possible to overturn apples patents.
A) why didn't Samsung go this route
B) why didn't Microsoft go that route, rather than licensing it off apple and pausing their competition.
But you said earlier that "stealing" is wrong, it should have nothing to do with who "Patented" it first.
"App store" isn't part of the interface, nor is touch to zoom.
Make your mind up! You said before it's okay to steal if it's patented by the thief first.
"If Samsung wanted to protect that interface they should have patented it"
So they didn't really steal the iPhone interface did they? Apple want to be able to take things and attempt to improve on it or have their own version, but then want to have a tantrum when they think a company is doing the same to them.
For anyone who has really used an iPhone and a Samsung smartphone, they know very well that they are both very different.
You would have to be pretty unobservant to mistake a Samsung android phone for an iPhone. That's been Apple's argument "what if some one buys a Samsung phone/tablet thinking that it's an Apple product, because they look so similar?".
It's sad that has even worked.
It's just all the iSheep should be hanging their collective heads in shame today. Today is a very bad day for the world of techology. Apple has come one step closer to stiffling competition and innovation outright.
The world has taken a step back and i really hope that a few of them wake up today and realise what kind of company they are supporting, and that what we've been telling them for years is actually true. No matter how much you like there product, if they behave this way then how can you support them?
In the long run i hope this actually causes a bit of a backlash on apple and that Samsung steps up there game with even better products

Where have they, several experts in the field have actually said its done the opposite, by forcing people to innovate.
Or are you telling me other people can't possibly make a smartphone as they can no longer use bounce back or pinch to zoom. Even though apple is willing to license it. ms and others have licensed it, Samsung flat out refused.
Too many people in this thread, don't have a clue about the details.
So they're not going after all corporate Android users?
Well when you consider how daft you have to be to want an Apple product to start with, they probably have a point

Just read this:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentis...ng-quest-global-tech-domination?newsfeed=true
"The jury's quick decision – just two days of deliberations in an immensely complex case, with more than 100 pages of instructions from the judge – surely means the panel members had made up their minds in the courtroom and spent most of their time in the jury room filling out a 20-page form of checkboxes and granular detail. And on almost every point that mattered, they gave Apple what it wanted. The jury tossed out virtually all of Samsung's counter-claims against Apple for infringement on its own patents, and awarded no damages to Samsung."
That was quick!!

Yes, RIM more than likely pay them to be allowed to do that.
Because Samsung is not retarded like Apple and don't patent retarded things like Apple.
