Other Android handset manufacturers should see this as a win. Samsung rode all the way to its massive market share on Apple's coattails and is currently the only Android OEM making any kind of money. Hopefully injunctions against their infringing products will level the playing field, as well as stimulate Android to differentiate itself from its competition the way Windows Phone 7 has. And if the biggest losers of this verdict are the telecommunications companies, then consumers are the biggest winners. Any blow against unremovable crapware, lower handset subsidies, and outrageous monthly costs should be praised, not vilified. Just more linkbait trash journalism. |

But the point is that they had similar designs of their own in the past, so the look and feel of the Galaxy S is also rooted in their own past work. Not just these prototypes, but also in the clean styling of their photo frames and TVs, and of at least one of their music players. Yes, the success of the iPhone informed their choice of which of their in-house styles to follow, but no, it's not a case of 100% copying. Touchwiz is their more blatant attempt to make the phone feel more like an Apple device, and I do think sanctions are in order there, but even with Touchwiz you'll note that the patents that Apple were able to get a verdict on are ones that are raising an eyebrow with the observers of prior art and 'obviousness'. Bounce back, pinch to zoom and double-tap to zoom? Patentable? Graham Last edited by Graham; 08-29-2012 at 01:56 PM. |

Scotia, sometimes it's hard to tell whether you're being sarcastic or not!
But in a related development, since the jury decided that the Galaxy Tab did not infringe on the iPad design, Samsung have moved to get the injunction against Tab sales in the US lifted as soon as possible: http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?s...20827143911783 Quote:

one thing that is missing much of the typing from various experts /blogs wetc is that Samsung was not found to be infringing the rounded rectangles patent and yet the jury said the patent was valid. i dont see how that ruling is possible logically.
also the jury found Apple was not infringing Samsung's valid software and standards patents. I suppose a reasonable jury could find that way on the software but on the standards patents? Um the Apple phone works, right? So then they are infringing on those two without a license. Thats the only logical ruling. anyway interesting news here http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?s...20828225612963 about the interview with the jury foreman you may have heard about and a the video itself |
