It has been quite a long time hearing about a technical feud prevailing among the two tech magniloquent company's viz Samsung and Apple.
Apple, claims that Samsung is using their patented software innovations like swipe to unlock, universal search and a few more. As per Apple's attorney in the court trial Samsung owe $2.2 billion to Apple for this damage.
On the contrary, Samsung attorney's obliterates this by rationalizing the fact that what Apple claims as their own innovation, is actually Google's. Yes, you read it right. Google's!!!
As per claims, Google is the first creator of these technologies and this happened even before Apple filed patents for sub tasking them in their products as patented technologies. Every android device regardless of the manufacturer inherits such features. So Samsung does not owe even a Nickel for such accusations made by Apple. In additions to this, the compensation for all patents is just $38.4 million, in contradiction to the amount being claimed by Apple. Adding more details to the controversial case is, Samsung claims that Apple is responsible for two patents infringements and thus Apple owe $6.2 million to Samsung .
So, in all there are seven patents at issue; five held by Apple and two by Samsung . Apple has accused Samsung of infringing US patents 5,946,647; 6,847,959; 7,761,414; 8,046,721; and 8,074,172. All related to software features, such as "quick links" for '647', universal search for '959', background syncing for '414', slide-to-unlock for '721', and automatic word correction for '172'. Overall, Apple argues that the patents enable ease of use and make a user interface more engaging.
Samsung, meanwhile, has accused Apple of infringing US patents 6,226,449 and 5,579,239. The '449' patent, which Samsung purchased from Hitachi, involves camera and folder organization functionality, and the '239' patent covers video transmission functionality raising implications for Apple's use of FaceTime.
Samsung's product line under infringement includes the top notch products like Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S II, Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, where Apple's product line commensurate with ecstatic iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5 and iPod Touch.
The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Friday upheld a ruling by Judge A. Posner of the Northern District of Illinois undermining the claims of the two organisations in the race of horses to become the flagship top notched mobile manufacturer of the world with respect to sales and revenues.
52 hours of testimony has spotted light on many things ranging from the invention of technology to total damages that are caused and now the jury will need a refresher to let them towards a verdict.
Anyhow, whosoever might win but the debate will definitely provide new paradigms to the mobile world technology patent procedures and consequences of infringements !!!
