Apple wins $1 billion victory over Samsung

[Flash]

Maruti's SLIDE TO UNLOCK is a perfect example!
Maybe, Apple can create their own processor!

[Reminds me of Phil Coulson's line to Tony Stark in THOR --> This guy never tells me anything! ]

pls not to believe any information from 9GAG, that's trolls failing at trolling trolls

people who whine about apple being a patent troll, the problem is the patent system and not apple . fix the system.
btw, apple has just not got the money for rounded corners and shapes... its for other design patents and the interface as a whole, read the judgement for more details, dont abuse pointlessly

Samsung wins patent case against Apple in Japan
Samsung wins patent case against Apple in Japan - The Times of India

TOKYO: A Tokyo court on Friday dismissed Apple Inc's claim that Samsung had infringed on its patent -- the latest ruling in the global legal battle over smartphones that pits the two technology titans against each other. In a session lasting a few minutes, Judge Tamotsu Shoji said he did not think Samsung products fell into the realm of Apple technology and dismissed the lawsuit, filed by Apple in August last year.

seems like this is long drawn out battle.

Yes ^ he is right its the damn system. Tomorrow you can patent what you call your house. It is just plain and simple stupid. Apple sues Samsung for copying the i-pood design.

Yeah right. own processor. Dude, apple lives on bankrupting the world, if they start creating processors the company will shut down in a day.

other patents: rubber banding effect, tap to zoom, Pinch to zoom, one finger scroll, and zoom navigation.
we can guess how many android phones doesnt have any of this feature or if android itself is ultimate target.

apple better look out for emerging markets coz they will dominate mobile market in years to come while US & Europe almost peaked. The fact that android is leading in China, India, Brazil etc will make it difficult for Apple.
they can have a good start by registering patents in developing countries too

you do know that apple had an Alliance with ibm and Motorola to make processors, before it moved to Intel...right? check AIM alliance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I meant the processor for iphone4, not for Mac.
Anyhow, am not aware of that AIM alliance.

Isn't Power VR GPU a patent of Imagination technologies

but there's no denying, Apple created this touchscreen revolution...

we have to also give the hardware makers their credit, small high res full HD cameras, less power hungry CPUs, GPUs, varieties of high res, large display technologies, different kinds of sensors- Accelerometer, gyro, proximity- all these are so vital in creating that experience, all this comes inside a chip which is the size of palm

Apple makes nothing, it holds no real tech patents(not significant ones anyway), it designs the SOC and has it made by foxconn, the parts of that SOC are the property of respective owners, the tech patents are held by Nokia, motorola, microsoft etc.

Samsung will sue Apple immediately if it releases an LTE device, allegedly partnering with Microsoft to cut dependency on Android

what about iOS and iphones physical design

 

[Anorion]

^it's as little design as possible
it's cool their strength is in figuring out which bits to use, and how to bring it together, don't underestimate the value of doing just that

Google and Apple reported to be holding "nuclear disarmament" talks

According to a Reuter’s report, Apple and Google are holding ongoing intellectual property talks that go up to the highest levels, including direct conversations between Google’s Larry Page and Apple’s Tim Cook. The always popular “people familiar with the matter” speaking to Reuters said that the talks specifically involved ongoing patent disputes over mobile software, and that lower-level officials in the company are also ongoing.

The two CEOs were reported to have spoken as recently as last week, holding a phone conversation on IP in the wake of the Apple v. Samsung ruling. According to the same sources another meeting was supposed to take place this week but was postponed for unknown reasons.

Obviously the report is somewhat sketchy with details, but the fact that Apple and Google are engaging in regular discussions at multiple levels of company leadership can only be a good thing; if we are ever going to see a truce emerge in the mobile patent wars it will probably take this sort of long-term commitment to finding a solution that is equitable to both sides.

hopefully they will announce ceasefire
