Ondrej Holzman Samsung doesn't like a potential ban on the sale of some of its older products that Apple is demanding. Therefore, on Thursday, the South Korean company expressed in court that Apple's request is only an attempt to create fear among mobile operators and sellers who offer Samsung products...
Currently, Apple is demanding a sales ban only for older Samsung devices, which are no longer even available, but such a ban would set a dangerous precedent for Samsung, and Apple could then want to extend the ban to other devices as well. This is exactly what Samsung's legal representative Kathleen Sullivan told Judge Lucy Koh on Thursday.
"The injunction could create fear and uncertainty among carriers and retailers with whom Samsung has very important relationships," Sullivan said. However, Apple's lawyer, William Lee, countered that the jury had already found two dozen devices infringing Apple's patents, and that the iPhone maker was losing money as a result. "The natural result is an injunction," Lee responded.
Judge Kohová has already rejected this ban requested by Apple once. But the court of appeals the whole case returned back and gave Apple hope that in the renewed proceedings succeeds.
Apple wants to use a court injunction to get Samsung to stop copying its products. Samsung understandably doesn't like it, because with such a court decision, there would not necessarily be endless, years-long legal battles over patents, and Apple could ask for a ban on other, newer products much faster and with a better chance of success.
Lucy Koh has not yet indicated when she is going to make a decision on this matter.
Android 4.4 KitKat? Perhaps the developers of IOS7 and the Martian version of KitKat have a common developer workplace, or someone is copying trends here again...
It's because Android has been super obnoxiously trendy for years that I switched to Apple. It's not a copy, but it gravitates towards this style. That's why I didn't update.
Samsun is already copying itself
For jablickare.cz: somehow I didn't understand the new logo and I still can't help but feel that there is a white pear inside :) I don't think it's very successful. I guess I'll try something.
No matter how I look, I can't see the pear anywhere. However, I see a simple outline of an apple and the letter "J" embedded in it. Feel free to try something, we'll be happy to see, but I'm afraid it won't fall on fertile ground...
I ended up finding J there myself too, but that logo is worth a fart. If you reject in advance, I won't hold back. I just wanted to help.
No matter what the logo is, there will always be someone who doesn't like it. But I'd really like to see your design that, according to you, is "not worth a fart" and that isn't just another variation on the Apple logo.
It's true that there's always someone ;) I don't have anything yet, so I won't say that it's not worth a fart. I just wrote that I would try something. It was your immediately dismissive attitude that forced me to do so. It's not fart it's confusing to me. An apple or a circle or a letter or what? It's weird to have apple in the name to deal with Apple and fear a variation on apple. I didn't even think of that. I mean no harm and I apologize if I offended the author.
If Samsung canceled electricity in NAY as well...every cell phone, computer, tablet, television, etc. it's only Samsung and better quality brands are nowhere to be found
IMO Samsung should have stayed with the vacuum cleaner, it was quite difficult for them.
