If Apple were to get Android banned, I would imagine Google will fight back by removing all their apps from iOS.

There goes Google maps, youtube, and gmail.

We would live in the smartphone dark ages.
[General Topics] MartyLK:
I don't see that happening. If anything, Apple will license their products to Google for a fee or Google will pay royalties. That is if anything comes of it.
[General Topics] hateem:
Apple is pushing too hard.

These are normal things, which everyone uses, has used and will use. All droid companies gotta do is bring up a small update for the call thing and then smear it in apple's face, idk about second one though.

This is no way near to banning androids all over usa, indeed apple just changes a few things, while using android stuff.

They have been holding out on new iphone, probably cause of this patent thing.

Android made it through the multi touch patent, this should be a piece of cake.
[General Topics] MartyLK:
There hasn't been anything done by Apple on the multi-touch capacitive mobile display tech yet. Apple was just awarded the patent last month. In all likelihood Apple will wait to see what happens with all of its current litigation before determining what to do with its nuclear bomb.

Apple will never be able to put a finger on with the current models. Probably a royalty.

Apple applied for the patent around the time the first iPhone came out, about 3 years ago. The government just now found time to award it to them. I guess it took the government 3 years to study its validity.

You know, I believe Google's intentions was to use a community model with open licensing models. While I support this, it was a poor business model due to Apple's greed. Alpple will legally sue them for asinine patents while stealing their designs. Apple is out for money, and understandably so, but their ethics suck. Their backlash will come from the hatred of the mobile community (minus the fan boys who would crown Jobs dictator and get iBrain replacements, if offered) .

What makes me laugh is jobs stating that everyone else is copying them.

Meanwhile iOS5 is a blatant android rip off in every single way.

Jobs should be embarrassed for making this one of his points yet turns around and does what he claims others shouldn't.

This guy is a joke, and any court that sides with apple is nothing more than a fanboy judge who is as blind and as dumb as Jobs himself.

Google and every Android manufacturer out there should run extensive ad campaigns on these blatant rip offs and force jobs to the defensive.

Ad slogan? How about:

iOS5 - So last year.

Then Google should just mop the floor with them in court. I'm sure, as open source as android is, they took some care in protecting their own "intellectual property" from not at least being approved by them.

Or at least something to that effect.

[General Topics] htc-ppc:
Even if you do not live in the U.S. you still have a problem. With manufacturers having to pay Microsoft, Oracle, and Apple it will result in the products suffering. Think about it. Resources will have to be drawn from product development to come up with workarounds and make sure Apple can't sue them every time they come with something. The UI will suffer, which could be fixed after a root, but many users don't root. The market starts to dwindle and eventually we are left with the handicapped remains of Android that is Apple approved.

HTC was doing great with news of an 88% increase in sales this year, but now their stock is diving. It's a messed up system when some vague description from years before common cell phone use can affect the today's phone market. Even if Apple agrees to license, no Android phone manufacturer should be forced to pay Apple for something that is not theirs.

Great article on this kind of patent abuse http://blogs.forbes.com/timothylee/2011/07/07/microsofts-android-shakedown/

Conclusion of the article, aka TL;DR

"The result is a transfer of wealth from young, growing, innovative companies like Google to mature, bureaucratic companies like Microsoft and IBM—precisely the opposite of the effect the patent system is supposed to have."
[General Topics] k_nivesout:
^^Good post and informative article. Thanks issued.
[General Topics] Hoista:
Most of these types of patent disputes ends up being a patent swap, hence the huge bids for the Nortel Patents. Most likely they will be settled out of court with a royalty or licensing scheme.

The most important of the patents are for radio technologies as there is already precedence in paying for license to use them (CDMA, GSM) etc. Therefore the pricing levels are already set. Really, in this case, the claims could easily be thrown out and unenforceable, but for radio technology side it could cause problems. One of Nokia's reasons for not grabbing much of the US market was its patent dispute with Qualcomm, effectively preventing Nokia from creating CDMA phones and making them lose presence.

It isn't just Apple, they all litigate. Microsoft lately litigated HTC for royalties and Oracle and others are litigating Google for infringements. Every company litigates except Google.

I'm not big on android but what's occurring here is wrong. I understand that it's all about being the best but going back and cutting it off at the source is a pretty sorry move. Utilizing a broken patent system to do so is even more of a low blow.
[General Topics] AnnoyingBunny:
The system is clearly being abused, but Apple is just playing the same game the other companies are playing.
[General Topics] htc-ppc:
I just cannot believe the patent system when it applies to software. I could accept it if it was specific lines of code or even a specific application of the idea for a very particular purpose (Also must be put into practice, not sitting on the patent). However with the current system of large companies with teams of lawyers pumping out patents of every single little abstract idea, it is completely impossible to innovate without infringing.

Of course the older, bigger companies get their way. They run the system. The ITC is basically an employee of those corporations. Google is too new in the game and the approval process is too long. It will be years before Google can hold its own in this patent game. By the same token, there are patents in the approval process now that will be used against Google, just because they weren't fast enough to get a patent.

So the lesson is that EVERY piece of software you write will infringe upon an older company's patents (probably a few, even if you are innovating something completely new). It's no problem unless your product becomes too popular. In that case patents will be used to squash you and then steal your idea or charge you to continue selling (if you were giving it out for free...not anymore) the product you came up with.

This is obviously wrong. After reading through the article I posted earlier I looked through the software patent debate. Many good arguments for only applying copyright law. Imagine if someone could hold a patent on songs about love or books with a plot twist. It's ridiculous. So if someone writes code it should be the same. A patent lasts for 20 years after filing. That is a long time to block progress in technology. The 2 patents in question are from 1994 and 1996. That's the stone age compared to today's tech.

[General Topics] MartyLK:
Apple would just put up their own service...especially now that LTE is getting going. It may sound far-fetched, but I can see something like it happening. As reliable as the iPhone is, connected with Apple's own service, it would be perceived as the premium choice for reliable data and cell service.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cher_Wang << CEO of HTC

who is married to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wen_Chi_Chen << CEO of Via

Via sold S3 to HTC for the 190+ patents to use against Apple. One of the largest chip manufacturers with one of the largest phone manufacturers? What did Apple step into?

It wouldn’t surprise me if Via supplied a good portion of the chips used in Apple PCs.

To top it all off, Motorola, seeing the filing for the lawsuits and the possible implications it had against Android, dug in its own dirty patent laundry list and preemptively filed suit against Apple as well late last year: http://www.patentlyapple.com/patent...awsuit-motorola-vs-apple-illinois-case-1.html

If Google ever decides to join the fray to defend these manufacturers, the combination of the four could probably squeeze the life blood out of Apple completely (so far, they’ve remained disinterested).

I say all interested parties (companies) should join in the legal battle and make Apple a thing of the past. Jobs is an egomaniac who is bent on technological dictatorship. It makes Microsoft look like a box of puppies in comparison.
[General Topics] MartyLK:
Gotta disagree. Apple could easily avoid any litigation by simply switching chip makers, like it is in plans of doing right now. And I don't see Jobs as an egomaniac. I see him as hard working and driven. Something that pays as demonstrated by Apple's success. He's a visionary basically.

The last thing the American economy needs is another high-value company going under.
[General Topics] Gusar321:

This! Totally this! This is what I'm waiting for. For companies to band together in this fight.
[General Topics] majorpay:
Jobs has always been a control freak, egomaniac, and this is an extension of that. From his public writings that alluded to the fact that no one needed Flash (along with the implications that would have on Adobe - as if the tech industry listens to him...lol), to this attempt to put under several companies, he needs to go down. Being American certainly doesn't make you exempt from being an arrogant arsehole, nor the retribution for being one. This move proves it's time to sink Apple, and I suspect if the winds blow that way, the company will just remove Jobs completely to salvage what they have left.

He can switch chip makers, and that won't matter. Whether you are thinking it is to remove Via, or to remove the patent infringement. He has a half a decade of infringement to answer for. On a side note with chip manufacturers, when you switch from the best, what kind of a product are you left with? Didn't they have to have a come to Jesus when they were using inferior chipsets, which is why their computer line is essentially a PC clone?

What does matter is when all the different companies pull their equally idiotic patents out of the woodwork and crush him the way that he's trying to do others. Motorola has already preemptively stepped in on this one, and the purchase of S3 was solely for the purpose of counter-suing. The litigation process, if combined with multiple corporations, could literally sink Apple out of existence, and it would be his own doing and arrogant self-inflation.

Apple is losing ground, and this lawsuit is the Hallmark of trying to regain traction through hostile take over. The patents are unquestionably asinine, and he is feeling the heat. So don't compete, sue the world. It's a sign of serious weakness on Apple's part. You notice how he hasn't touched Microsoft? That's because he thought he could take down Android by hostile removal of HTC without serious backlash (arrogance, once again). I hope this whole thing blows up in his face.

Apple is done in my book, and for anyone who isn't a fanboy and sees what's going on here, stop buying Apple products! Their focus has shifted to the lowest of low (the equivalent of an IP corporation). This means their innovation is flat out dried up.

To say that a large American company doesn't need to feel the burn, but to say on the other side that he can take down an entire technological sector, because he is American, is either extreme arrogance, or straight up fanboy talk. As a software engineer, I know how much damage IP companies that play the government have done to our sector, and for a major player like Apple to jump on board this low brow train is simply disgusting. Especially when they did it under the guise of promoting "openness." BS - that's corporate shill talk. Much like Microsoft partnering with Novell and Red Hat while attempting to play the patent game with Linux (but at least their patents were legit).
