War apple and samsum! who is the winer?
that was all the story revolves around copyright issues, already very complicated and estimated by the Financial Times, only a tiny device fits in the palm also contain up to 250,000 patents although there are many models of inventions rather ridiculous and controversial. For example, Apple owns quite a degree of ability to press the call numbers appear in e-mail. All the mess and even the silly this is manifested clearly in the direction of the war that Apple Samsung and HTC, which is actually attacking Google Android.Apple and Google had a very good relationship. Chairman of the U.S. search Eric Schmidt had a foot in the leadership of the "Apple". When first-generation iPhone launched, three service Google Search, YouTube and Google Maps is also installed by default on the phone. But the friendliness that did not last long after launch Android.
Starting October 3 / 2010, accused Apple HTC, Android's biggest phone company then, violating 20 patents related to interfaces, hardware platforms and structures. They asked the International Trade Commission United States (ITC) banned the import of HTC devices in this country. 7 / 2011, ITC preliminary determination that the unauthorized use of 2 HTC license Apple's technology.
In the battle with Samsung started from May 4 / 2011. Apple flatly declared South Korean electronics companies of unfair competition when picking up their copy in terms of interface, design and other technologies. Samsung opposite event that Apple is not violated at their inventions. The debate over the cause "trump card" of the Galaxy Samsung S II did not appear in the U.S. was 10.1 tablet Galaxy Tab has been temporarily banned from sale in Europe and soon possibly in Australia, Japan and Korea.
Next, Analysts say the purpose of this lawsuit is that Apple wants to prevent the spread of Android, which accounts for 40% of smartphones sold in the U.S. while Apple reached 26.6% according to the comScore . However, Google has not much protection, but the move to partner with Apple rotate. Last month, Eric Schmidt vowed to support HTC: "Have you seen the explosion of Android devices on the market, and by the success of our opponent begins to react in cases when they can not respond with improvements. I'm not too worried about this. "But as Apple proved decisive in causing difficulty for manufacturers Android, Google has once again asked financial support available for HTC in the case of Taiwanese firms are not losers, Schmidt replied only: " We will ensure they do not lose. "
Ability of war :
1) The first possibility is Apple HTC and Samsung have to pay royalties on every device they produce. This is most visible in the view of analysts. If the findings of violations, they must negotiate with Apple and pay intellectual property. In this case, Google should stand negotiated by "nobody wants Android device manufacturers if the previous mess and the danger they face when doing business which are not protected," Doug Lichtman, an expert on law at UCLA, said. Royalty will make Android phones, but their prices did not come too high. The HTC range of 40 USD to spend the royalties on every smartphone, which is 5 USD for Microsoft.
2)The second case is produced by HTC and Samsung banned the distribution in some markets. The risk of this happening in the latest ruling of German courts for the Galaxy Tab tablets 10.1 (Samsung is preparing to appeal). However, for final conclusions, the judge will consider many months, even years. They must also consider the profound impact to the benefit of consumers and the extent of damage to the maker.
3)Worst scenario (and most unlikely) that Apple will hold the patent was registered for themselves. "Apple may not want to grant for the competition, especially in the form 'cause iPhone to become different." They hundred dollars profit on each iPhone and iPad and there is no reason to empower others unless the company also owns the copyrights that Apple was forced to negotiate ", an expert on intellectual property Florian Mueller said. Historically, most companies finally resolve the dispute by negotiation and pay for the copyright holder for "reasonable".
