The ongoing legal battles between Samsung and Apple are nothing new. They’ve been going on for what seems like an eternity. The gist of it is that Apple claims Samsung copied their iOS user interface as well as design aspects of the highly popular iPad. Apple is going to all means to ensure they can protect what is allegedly rightly theirs. It hasn’t been smooth sailing for Apple though recently. They lost an appeal in the UK and as a result were forced to run online and newspaper advertisements claiming Samsung didn’t infringe on said patents.
But it’s a different ball game in the United States. Apple has just added the recently release Galaxy Note 10.1 to the on going lawsuit. To make it more interesting they’ve thrown Android 4.1 to the mix as well. Apple like before claims these two products infringes on their patents (we don’t know which exactly) and are looking to get the Galaxy Tab 10.1 banned. The addition of Android 4.1 is what is damning. We might get to see Google and Apple go head to head in the court sooner or later.
That being said what we ‘hope’ to see is all this put to rest. But that would be wishful thinking on our part.
