Ondrej Holzman A very interesting document was brought into the court case between Apple and Samsung. A 132-page report from 2010 has been published that compares the Galaxy S and the iPhone in detail, with Samsung noting how it could improve its phone by looking at the competition…
The extensive comparison has been translated from Korean to English, so the jury can also study the entire document. In the report, Samsung deals with all elements of the iPhone - basic functions, browser, connectivity and visual effects. He then compares each detail with his own device (in this case, the original Galaxy S) and writes why the iPhone has a certain feature created by the administration and why the Galaxy S does not. In addition, each page is written about how Samsung should improve the Galaxy S to behave more like an iPhone.
On page 131 it even literally says: "Eliminate the feeling that we're copying iPhone icons with a different design."
Although the document itself does not mean any victory for Apple, it is definitely plus points for the Californian company. She is trying to convict Samsung of copying Apple products, and with this document, the South Korean giant is helping her. However, Apple will have to prove its claim further.
You can view the full document (in English) below.
On page 131, it even literally says: "Remove the feeling that we are copying iPhone icons with a different design." Isn't this very sentence proof that Samsung tried to differentiate itself from the iPhone so that people wouldn't mistake it?
Even if, it is still copying, this document is clear proof of it. And then let someone else say that Samsung is not copying from Apple.
I haven't read the document. But the fact that someone analyzes another product does not mean that they copy it.
There are a lot of different Chinese copies that really resemble Apple products, not only in the shape of the device, but also in the content - icons and graphics. If Samsung really wanted to copy it completely, they wouldn't try to copy it. I don't want to forcefully defend him, everyone is behind their backs, both Samsung and Apple. In my opinion, customers should decide what to buy, and if someone buys a Samsung and comes to return it with the fact that he wanted to buy an Apple product but bought a Samsung by mistake, then such a person should be declared insane :P
There are many products that are partially similar, but I personally don't know anyone who would accidentally buy something other than what they wanted...
Well, the issue here is not whether someone will mistake the product or not, but the principle. It's about someone creating something and the other person creating something very similar from the other person's idea. Apple created a unique design and Samsung copied it. If Samsung wants to be a real competitor, it should create something of its own and not take inspiration from others.
However, he created: Galaxy Note 10.1 – tablet and Galaxy S3 – mobile phone.
You no longer have copying there
Just wait to see what the competition will come up with - that is, apart from lawsuits.
But there is copying, lots of it. How about s-voice?
Yes, Mr. Zac.. just with the difference that s-voice is a class better, and that's what you guys like the most :)
Dear Mr. Fufo, I have seen a lot of test videos and had the opportunity to test s-voice myself and it is certainly not better, it does have some good functions, but that is the end of it.
Good joke Fufo :D
good start, it is believed that with this phone they really copied the design and the UI, but to say that Apple invented the whole thing is quite short-sighted, touch phones with a dominant display were even before it. I admit that apple started the boom of the whole thing, but to say that it wouldn't have been so advanced without him is stupid, because the iPhone has HW from Samsung
Of course, they have to have HW from someone when they can cancel their own factories by policy, but these factories that only produce for them do not invent anything for them. Apple also designs processors and they only manufacture them on their own lines, do you understand? And that's not even the whole truth because Apple often finances new production lines on which it is produced. It's more profitable for Apple. Of course, zhento are not always entirely their inventions, but they adapt and improve them, as in the case of ARM. By the way, this company was also co-founded by Apple.
I have the impression that the sentence is talking about removing the FEELING, not about removing copying... ;)
Although I don't like these lawsuits, I wish this to Samsung…..
Damn copysung, I hope he has to pay such damages that he's going to get the hell out of it.
But this dispute is not about copying, this is just business, power and politics. Apple also has a patent for a rectangular shape and a square shape with rounded corners, that's (in English) sick.
Of course, it's mainly about money. That always. But with the "rectangular shape patent" it's a little different. First, it is not a patent, but an industrial design. Well, the essence of this industrial pattern is not so much the rectangle with rounded corners (which is also one of the parameters of this industrial pattern), but a set of such elements that uniquely specify the appearance of the device. The fact that the competition subsequently started to use a similar look en masse confirms that it is a very good design. And since it hasn't been used before, there's no reason why it can't be protected.
At the time the application was filed and the first iPhone was created, it was a very revolutionary look that was significantly different from anything that existed at the time. As far as I remember, almost everything had the front side under the display occupied by a set of control buttons, the display cover was not flush with the front of the phone (usually it was "recessed" and the plastic formed a large frame around it, to protect the display), etc. There are more of those elements, I can't remember them all off the top of my head. But it is definitely a very innovative look in the context of its time and as such deserves its several years of protection. It was definitely a design revolution.
You could have made the paten too if you figured it out and now you wouldn't be complaining about illness but rolling in money or maybe you would sit at home with one chair and let Apple make money from your patent?
I already wrote it here once, but all of this and this very detailed document proves the Asian business mentality... in Asia it is common for successful companies to be copied and thereby show their admiration for the company or idea that they are copying... the problem in this case is that it is a global issue, but it is actually a battle between Asian and American mentality
I would also like to admire someone like that, not pay him for what he came up with and parasitize on him...that's a mentality and an opinion, man.
It is clearly evident here that
Samsung was inspired by the iPhone. He already stole years of development from Apple.
but no, really?
I don't know if it's been years and in principle I don't care if Samsung copies or not. The one who copies will always be left behind. But what bothers me about Samsung is that it openly says that it does not copy, but it is so obvious that even a blind person would see it. Samsung is so poor in terms of quality and performance that those who want an apple will buy a quality apple, those who want a plastic on steroids will buy a plastic on steroids.
I understand that companies have a dispute with each other. I don't understand that ordinary users also take it personally. Fortunately, time has moved on and there is an opportunity to choose. Who wants my iPhone and who wants my Galaxy S. I belong to the group that needs a phone mainly call and occasionally text. I have a laptop for everything else.
