Apple is suing all Android phone manufacturers for whatever they can. The court case you're referring to had to deal with the build design and UI overlay that Samsung was using with many of their older phone models. The case is being appealed by Samsung, the jury foreman showed himself to have had an agenda through various interviews post-trial, and Judge Koh is having Apple make some of their private financial records public.acetamino wrote:wasn't there a lawsuit between samsung and apple? Apple claimed samsung stole all the designs and patented technology. Apple won the court case. Based on if this is true, Id say samsung is better because they took all of apples technology and advanced it enough to make Apple sue.
Many of Apple's software patents are being invalidated due to prior art, the most recent being the 'bounce back' feature when hitting the end of a page. Their "slide to unlock" patent won't really hold much for them any longer. Google, however, should have fun with Apple once the notification pulldown patent is granted to them.
