Apple always finds a way to top its own claims. I'm sure we will see another one soon

Genius...
Certainly, Apple has the best marketing strategy in the world. Step 1) Patent something that has already been used and claim it for yourself (even though you are 2 years behind the curve). Step 2) Your millions of minion-minded customers will think they are the first to have such product, and will claim it to be the BEST EVERRRRRR! Of course, they will be correct because Apple said so!
Yawn..........

Anyone notice something here ....

Hmm I think apple is going against manufactures and not google to try and discourage them from making Android phones so win or lose it's costing Samsung thousands of dollars but then again if I were apple I'd be scared to attack Samsung with 25% of the iPhone 4 made from Samsung aren't they worried they'll just cut them off?

Companies as large as Samsung (and they are a GIGANTIC company. They are huge in nearly every industry they are in, which is most.) have different divisions. Whatever the smartphone division is called likely has little to do with the component manufacturing division. Even if the smartphone division demanded the component manufacturing division to cut off Apple completely they would get nothing more than a simple "No" and likely some laughing...and even if that division did want to cut Apple off they are contractually bound. Not to mention it would just be bad business to cut off sales to one of the planets most prolific electronic component customers.
A few years back one division of Sony sued another division of Sony...I think it was a (surprise surprise) Copyright issue.

Yeah, I think that most people don't realize just how gigantic and diverse of a company that Samsung really is...
"Samsung Electronics said Friday that it topped 160 trillion won (138 billion U.S. dollars) in annual sales for the first time in 2011. For the second straight year, the company topped 15 trillion won (12.9 billion dollars) in operating profit on the back of more than 150 trillion won (129 billion dollars) in sales."

All of these lawsuits are ridiculous.. But I don't think the one listed in the OP is the most laughable..
Samsung recently lost a case where they claimed the absolute right to 3G against Apple...
The only people who come out ahead on all these frivolous lawsuits are the lawyers who are getting paid..

Some of the claims made by Apple are bad yes but what's even worse is when some of the courts agree with them.

Google----part of the new world order. Everything they come up with that has to do with privacy is justified by them for your own good, but this is all part of theplan. You have heard Bush Sr. promise this, Bush Jr., Clinton, Obama. We are moving there because it is designed to be that way so might as well fight it or get on the bus, your choice at least for now. Oh by the way, facebook is part of it too. The whole idea is to build a profile on everyone so when it is time for microchip, they have your information for the chip. Anything else they say is hoccus poccus. This is strategically planned. Who can tell you, I will know everything about you and you can't stop me, does that seem like freedom of choice? Think really deep about this one.

Anyways, to quote the article for the patents Apple is claiming have been infringed:
Apple's motion alleged that the Nexus devices infringed four of its patents: US Patent Nos. 5,946,647 (actionable linking), 8,086,604 (multi-source searching), 8,046,721 (slide-to-unlock) and 8,074,172 (touch screen word suggestion).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
US Patent No. 5,946,647 - this patent was filed in 1996 (issued 1999) and covers detecting data, such as a phone number, in an email or web page, creating a link to that data, and initiating an action like calling the phone number when the user selects the link. The data could also include addresses, dates, etc.
US Patent No. 8,086,604 - this patent claims priority back to 2000 (issued Dec. 2011) and covers searching multiple sources of information (on device and elsewhere) through a single search interface, such as Siri. Apple specifically touts Siri in its injunction request, but also argues that a unified text search is covered by the patent as well.
US Patent No. 8,046,721 - this patent claims priority back to 2005 (issued Oct. 2011) and covers Apple's signature slide-to-unlock feature. While Apple already has patent coverage on an image unlock feature, this newest patent is obviously intended to be a bit broader — likely addressing potential workarounds implemented by Google and OEMs over the last couple of years.
US Patent No. 8,074,172 - this patent was filed in 2007 (issued Dec. 2011) and covers providing word suggestions while the user types on a touchscreen keyboard, where the suggestions can be accepted or rejected by the user.

Essentially, some of these patents are the very same patents Apple has been attacking other Android OEMs, such as HTC, for. They're going after basic Android functions, but rather than going for Google directly, they're attacking OEMs. This is the closest they've come to attacking Google directly for these particular patents, AFAIK. If you ask me, some of them are rather inane, such as slide-to-unlock and text suggestions.

That patent hasn't been granted yet, and is FAR more specific to Android's implementation than Apple's very vague, rather inclusive patents that have been granted. Which is highly unfortunate.

I love how Apple is getting judges to grant injunctions based on their actionable links patent when theirs is so limiting. At least with Android those links can let the user decide which app is used to open that object.

this makes me so fing mad. i want to smash something. F U APPLE!!!!!!!

Luckily Google no longer has the swipe to unlock feature (they have to move the circle into the other circle feature). I doubt the judge agreed that that particular patent was infringing on the Nexus ICS device even though Apple hoped it was. It sounds like the judge used the universal search patent and the actionable links patent to make this injunction.

I don't understand injunctions, how can you ban a product based on software that isn't even the same and also before it been proven to infringe on it. It seems to me like the judge is basically deciding outcomes before a trial.

Very depressing. I guess a tenth of a trillion dollars in Apple's bank accounts isn't enough for them. Software patents are so broken.

Considering the actionable linking patent is essentially describing hypertext behaviour, I'm surprised that's not FRAND or equivalent by now.

Apple on Tuesday was awarded what is being considered as “the mother of all smartphone software patents,” according Phandroid’s Kevin Krause. Considering Apple’s recent track record, the company may be preparing to bring down a legal hail storm against Google’s Android. “The effects could be swift and lethal,” Krause admitted.
Of particular interest, patent number 8,223,134, which covers “Portable electronic device, method, and graphical user interface for displaying electronic lists and documents,” could be Apple’s biggest weapon. Basically, it covers user interfaces for smartphone email, telephone, camera, video player, browser, widgets, search, notes, maps and a multitouch interface. That’s a list of features in every competing smartphone OS.
PatentlyApple said, “Apple reinvented the smartphone, and today they get another patent victory to celebrate that fact… Apple’s iPhone truly reinvented the smartphone and Apple’s granted patent reflects the broad range of graphical user interface innovations that they brought to market.”
Apple has been steadfast in its quest to squash any competition it deems has stolen from the Cupertino-company. Over the past several months, Apple has been embroiled in a number of lawsuits around the globe, the most recent of which dealing with the Galaxy Nexus.
The granting of such a broad patent could have far reaching consequences on the marketplace, and potentially stifle any major future software advancements, which is ultimately bad for consumers.

I do think if these suits start getting out of control, it might backfire on Apple, but we will see. I mean, seriously, people didn't by Android because of a disappearing scroll bar, just like people didn't buy Android over Apple because of unified search.

Samsung vs Apple lawsuit repercussions

I don't want to be negative because I love my android especially my s3 but anyone know how loosing that case in court to apple is going to affect us and our s3's? One of my friends said oh just wait a few weeks and demand an iPhone 5 from your carrier. I really don't want to do that as I abhore apple products. I despise the proprietary nature of the iPhones and how inflexible they are. No expanding memory.. no ability to tweak them ...just so very utilitarian and unmanageable... so if anyone knows how this loss to Samsung will affect us I'd love to hear opinions and thoughts... thanks.!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

It could would to samsung, because more people are finding out how samsung makes apple's processors, etc. In fact, that essentially in the guts, hardware wise, similar products, though the apple is like 3x more, and samsung has a better quality and price.
This ban could be temporary; the nexus was banned, but if you check the play store, its back to being sold; it has for some time now.
So in the end, will really just have to watch as it plays out. This could be 'htc move' for apple; where people were unhappy with them because of them going back on their bootloader word. This could drive more people to samsung.

Really why make another one of these threads when a few already exist..... And last I read nothing is banned as of yet.that hearing is set for sometime in Dec. And on top of that the GS3 is not one of the phones Apple is going after. Most of the galaxy s2 variants and a couple galaxy s1 are the ones being questioned.

I was floored by the performance boost in the GUI and how I finally have a phone with no personal complaints I can cite.
CPU runs all the code I write fast enough for what I need, and the wireless N support doesn't suck.
On top of that, the radio on the unit works very well for voice calls, far better than my EVO does.
(My poor EVO has been relegated to displaying Weather, playing MP3's and movies as a gift to my sister.)
As for the lawsuit, I would like to remind everyone no money has changed hands yet. There is an appeal process. There _will_ be an appeal process because lawyers don't like to turn down that much cash, I can assure you.
Secondly, the last time LINUX was threatened, was SCO. A grass roots effort over a 5 year period, reduced the company to a rubble pile. Geeks like myself, have HUGE bearing on our friends and our families on what they should buy. Even the small number of geeks at the time working in the open source industry.
Now, it is an entirely different story. Open source runs the modern world now.
If Apple gets out of line, and starts shutting down product lines of companies for what could be argued as the most ridiculous legal proceedings ever, since the SCO case, we will mobilize.
We will mobilize our friends, our families, our places of work and like SCO, Apple will feel our wrath and it will wither and die as a company.
Many like myself feel this way because we understand how technology and science works, and it works by building on previous inventions.
_ALL_ companies build on previous products and technology. Apple is no exception.
If SAMSUNG copied the parts and software I could see legal validation for retribution. But the products displayed in the courtroom in this particular instance have little technological, software or GUI likeness if at all to any Apple product.
Secondly, the jury was stacked by Silicone Valley idiots, which has already been shown to have complete bias towards Apple, regardless of their beliefs of right or wrong in the said legal case against SAMSUNG.

I don't want to be negative because I love my android especially my s3 but anyone know how loosing that case in court to apple is going to affect us and our s3's? One of my friends said oh just wait a few weeks and demand an iPhone 5 from your carrier. I really don't want to do that as I abhore apple products. I despise the proprietary nature of the iPhones and how inflexible they are. No expanding memory.. no ability to tweak them ...just so very utilitarian and unmanageable... so if anyone knows how this loss to Samsung will affect us I'd love to hear opinions and thoughts... thanks.!
