Cool, but it wasn't there before I looked. (edited post?)

I can't post any links (I guess my original post just fluked b/c there were not HTTPs in them), so we can have this closed on moved there if you want.

Thx for the details.

BTW, Engadget's article has been updated with more details, too.

Aw for the love of Pete.... Really?

Hmm... so Apple invented the icons then? or was it tapping on icons? Maybe they invented the idea of having icons on a desktop environment? Uh... uh... got it... having them lined up in a square grid array...

[OT] Apple sues Samsung over Galaxy S and Tab

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] walk.away:
How can they claim the Nexus S is similar to an iphone? It has no features similar other than being a touchscreen, even that is different as it is curved. Are apple going to sue all companies for making phones? Hmmm, who made the first touchscreen phones...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] CheesyNutz:
apple way of thinking if you can't beat them SUE them

i remember a while back Apple had a similar law sue about their MAC colours, when other PC case maker came up with totally different shapes PC cases with a variety of colours which few were similar to them.

Yet, another incident was when a Toilet manufacturer was making Toilet with Apple colour themes, and was also suing the toilet company for copy right infringement

let me see if i can Google up those old news :D LOL :p
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] EleCtrOx666:
Come on guys...Samsung Galaxy S definitely looks like an iPhone 3G(s) hardware-side. It's obvious.

have to sue you bastard!!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] silverwolf0:
If you think Apple is the only tech company suing for frivolous and stupid things, and it fits your worldview that Apple is the devil, then it is a really pathetic sort of deliberate ignorance. There are so many tech companies suing each other right now, and counter-suing, it's part of their morning routine to let the lawyers out while sipping some finely brewed espresso.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] EleCtrOx666:

iToilet

here's something back from the era when Apple sued a toiled company for making something similar to these

http://andyyeo.0catch.com/itoilet.html

it originally started as a spoof, but then actually a toilet company picked-up the idea and made it for real, obviously not looking like those on the spoof.

the cease and decease order was kinda quick, the sue was about defamatory of stinky Apple's products

LOL :D

Apples suing since Samsung have now fully joined the phone and tablet market with high end products which compete directly with Apple and even beat it spec wise, in weight, thinness, cpu, etc

Not many other manufacturers are as good when it comes to hardware and Samsung is the best in the android department which is the biggest threat to Apple.

Another interesting read I found which dates back to Feb this year. I wonder how Samsung will respond, I assume they will pay up and continue producing the S line. It will probably be more costly for them to lose a partner like Apple.

Hey Apple are you theathened?!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dre89:
Wait, this makes no sense, didn't apple invent everything that's existed ever?

At this rate it won't be long before they sue everything for infringing on there copyright for existing on a 3 dimensional plane......and the 3 dimensional plane for existing since only they could possibly create such a thing.

Edit: I just had a thought, how could apple exist if apple wasn't around to create itself? Doesn't that mean apple should sue apple for infringing on the idea of apple?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RedBlueGreen:
I don't see why Apple would sue Samsung. Samsung provides Apple with lots and lots of hardware. If i was a massive company buying hardware from another massive company i wouldnt even think of suing them.

I hope Samsung does something about this other then fighting against it.

Something on the lines of limiting what they provide Apple........ even if they do lose a few billion out of it.

If Samsung continues to provide the same hardware that they do now after this is over... then Apple will feel even more powerful.

I dunno. Thats just my take on it.. im no highend business man but i wouldnt work with people that try and F me up

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] RedBlueGreen:
Also to add to my point:

Apple does this right after they spent 5billion or so for hardware from samsung.

I used to have respect for Apple (hard to believe yes i know) But now.. i dont have none what so ever.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] EleCtrOx666:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
I am more to think about "publicity stunt" by Apple.

You know, just to drum up public attention because next week Samsung will release Galaxy S II (or early May).

Then Galaxy Tab 8.9" / 10.1" early June.

So yeah, Apple needs to be "in the news" to redeem the excitement of those releases.

Who is next? LG maybe as the Optimus X2, looks also similar.

Anyway the first touchscreen phone was the IBM Simon, launched in 1992. In 2000 the popular iPaq (COMPAQ) was launched with touchscreens and optional phone attachments. HTC launched their first touchscreen phone, the HTC Wallaby aka XDA in 2002. Apple did actually make a concept for a touchscreen land line phone in 1984!

Hey IBM wake up it's time to sue someone!!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] FriedBunny:
Very true. Samsung (and LG, for that matter) has a long history of "homage" to better selling competitors' phones. The first thought of anyone who first saw the Galaxy phones last year was, "Huh, that looks exactly like an iPhone."

Certainly there are only so many ways to design modern smartphone and there are industry-wide design fads that come and go, but Samsung did show a certain amount of disregard for originality with several of the Galaxy S models... at the very least.

It ended up bad for Apple, as the court said that the name Apple does not have an owner as you can't copy right fruit names, which were there way before the company even existed. The judge ruled against them and well, we now have a baby girl with that name.

Just a thought, if Apple was prepared to sue Samsung, surely they are prepared to change a supplier for their chipsets and other parts. i.e. they are prepared to break the business relationship, or have more control over their supplier/competitor

lookin for the link

Apple sued Microsoft in 1988 over the look and feel of Windows versus the Lisa and Mac operating systems. At the time Xerox filed suit against Apple claiming that Apple stole their idea for the GUI in the first place.

The courts dismissed the Xerox claims, but ruled AGAINST Apple (in the most part). Wikipedia link here.

The most important part of this ruling was the decision by the courts that Apple COULD NOT patent or copyright the concept, look, or feel of a GUI..... hmmmm :confused:

EDIT: Oh, and as for inventing everything, that sounds a lot like 1984, by George Orwell

It's because Apple now sees more and more of their Zombies jumping ship. Some of their customers are now realizing there is more than just Apple Sauce.

It's going to get interesting really quickly...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] a dead man:
I think you'll find that apple is trying to protect it's DESIGN registrations, this type of IP protects the look and style, not the function, the rules are different to patents. As there were not a lot of these types of gadgets around when apple filed for registration, the prior art field was non existant meaning that at the moment, apple pretty much can sue any body that has something with even a hint of iphone/ipadishness about it. if the prior art database had been large when apple filed, it would be quite likely that any court action would fail as a large prior art database would indicate that small differences between designs could coexist. As for the UI, they even have design registrations for their icons and I think their layouts too
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Febrodroid:
Why TF cant i post links here!

Found a realy nice link about this topic I would like to share with you.... prevent from spam!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] a dead man:
I think your missing the point, apple always register designs before they release, its highly likely that the iphone 3g was already applied for and in the works before the F700 was released, ergo, the F700 is probably the copy (never seen one, so I couldn't tell you if it breaches IP rights or not) :)

The SGS does look similar to the iphone, but the iphone style was designed before apple, thats a samsung f700, it was released before the iphone :P :P
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 06bgoggin:
Tbh there is a similarity between the things but not to the point that there should be a lawsuit. I doubt that apple will win (I really hope they don't - I hate apple), apple only have a chance if the judge is a apple fan boy :P
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] rizzy123:
tbh I think the real reason for this law suit is not because Apple thinks they will win, its just a way to put off consumers buying a "copy" of the iphone ahead of the SGS2 release. Samsung are Apple's biggest competitors atm and as rumours have it Apple is far from releasing its own iPhone 5 so they dont want the Galaxy S2 to dominate and persuade the consumers their way before people get to see the iphone 5.

If the iphone 5 were to be released at the same time as the galaxy s2, i doubt they would have made this law suit but since the S2 will be released months ahead of the iphone its gonna draw in the crowds and people who will be renewing their contracts, especially since many iphone customers end their contracts in june and rumour has it Apple will be announcing the new iphone in september, so they probably want their customers to wait and buy the "original" as they put it before they jump ship.

The Galaxy S2 has also had major improvements in spec and design and the pricing is very competetive and now they also have the brand awareness in the smartphone market thanks to the popular Galaxy S line.

Apple released the *thinnest smartphone and Galaxy S was the only phone that beat it*

*most iphone 4 need a bumper to work

Apple release the thinnest and lightest ipad and Samsung remodel their announced tablet to be even thinner and lighter and at a very competitive price.

No wonder Apple is making rash decisions by suing the company that provides nearly $8bn worth of tech.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] a dead man:
according to the rules of designs comparison, yes there is, and to protect it's IP, yes apple should. but thats all up to the judge and what he thinks. I have seen some really left field decisions in the last 12 years concerning IP rights, sooooo .... we will have to wait and see :p
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Spl4tt:
you are totaly right

but in my opinion apple just sucks cause of this, i mean, why cant they beat their rivals like every other company does? with new, better, and awsome products?

instead of bringing us awsome devices, they try to eleminate the others who give us better ones..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] eeyunopper:
Apple did beat their rivals, with the first phone they bought out, which was a sexy piece of hardware and had an intuitive UI. Then Samsung copied it and stole a big chunk of the market. Would this have happened if the Galaxy S didn't look like the iphone? Who knows. Then Apple bought out the iPhone 4, more square design, more modern, even sexier, then Samsung copied it for the Galaxy SII. I'd be pretty pissed too if I were apple.

Don't get me wrong, I'm no apple fanboy (apart from their success with audio latency...Come on Google, sort it) I bought an SGS because it looked like an iphone (Sexy), wasn't apple, was open source, had similar audio playback specs (GSMArena), and had a nice big screen.
