Launch a consumer electronics product these days and within a couple of weeks you can probably expect a legal challenge. Which has happened to Apple with the iPad Mini — because Samsung claims it infringes its patents.
In fact, it goes even further than that, reports the Verge. That whole raft of new Apple products — the iPad Mini, iPad, new iPod touch — have all been fingered as infringing on patents that are already being discussed in Samsung and Apple’s long and continuing legal battles.
The products won’t be included in the second Sammy-Apple lawsuit — a follow-up to the one won by Apple earlier this year — until they’re approved by a US Magistrate. One thing is for certain, though: any new Samsung products will likely be added to the case in an instant, too. [US DIstrict Court via Verge]
Samsung Claims Its Phones Don't Infringe on Apple Patents Because Android Multitouch Sucks Too Much
Judge Denies HTC's Claim of Patent Infringement Against Apple
The ITC's Proposing Some Rough Sanctions Against Patent-Infringing Samsung Phones
and so it continues.
the patent system needs to be sorted. all it is doing is driving up prices. how so many useless patents are allowed confuses me. its generally apple too with the bad behaviour
This is how it goes at the moment Samsung Release a product, Apple adds it to their lawsuit, Apple release a product, Samsung adds it to theirs.
“They pull a knife, you pull a gun. They send one of yours to the hospital, you send one of theirs to the morgue! That’s the Samsung way, and that’s how you get Apple!”
Oddly enough I thought of that as I was posting the above.
That line had an angry Scottish accent in my head. Took me a minute to realise why…
And shame on him as he was suppose to be doing American Irish, nowhere near as good as is Russian submarine commander ‘dive, dive, dive’. Top tip, if you can’t character act don’t plan regional characters.
Still, even with that Scottish-American-Irish accent he cleaned the fall with a stilted Costner playing an American character – ‘Oh – god – no’.
Jobs: Build it and they will cum.
So lets get this right.
Samsung reckon they own the patent to audio/video devices with output jacks!?
Hahahahaaaaaaa! No chance…..
But Apple created square/oblong devices with rounded corners? Yeah righht!
It’s all madness I tells ya!
