US judge grants injunction on Galaxy Nexus

US judge grants injunction on Galaxy Nexus
Those on the fence better get their GNex now before it's too late
"Apple first asked for an injunction on US sales of Samsung's Galaxy Nexus devices back in February, and the court has now ruled, granting the motion and imposing a ban. "

Smh...
Apple, Apple, Apple... When will you learn.

And it timed so well with 4.1 release. This is not how you take down android. Android is a machine,a movement. apple is a fruit. Just shows how desperate they are. Probably paid the judge.

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).

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!!!!!!!

Apple, Apple, Apple, when will you learn? I am certain Androids eat apples for breakfast, so come at us.
Reading this article almost made me smash my entire laptop and desk in rage. Apple is do damn power hungry.

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 feel like the judges are all apple biased

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.

Hahahaha I read this to, the question would be weather Apple decides to fight and get some sort of an injunction. 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.

Just a matter of time until all these apple patents get recognized as industry standards

Google will change to a different scrollbar. I doubt it will ever matter. This doesn't mean the death of Google.
I can think of several ways around it, and they don't require an ugly persistent scrollbar either.
One being, no scrollbar at all. Haven't we moved past the need for those on mobile devices?

All this bull**** its getting out of control.. In the case that apple managed to kill EVERY SMART PHONE IN THE WORLD meaning iphone its the only remaining device.. I'd rather go back to an old dumb nokia 5120 or such over buying an apple device.
But I guess with this new patent they gonna affect even Microsoft and windows 8 phones.. And this its where I don't know if apple's legal department its crowded with retards.. Because I am sure that messing with Microsoft never its a good option.. They can smack apple down to the hell any day

What I find funny is the trial date, March 2014, so what's the point in a trial to ban a part that most likely won't be on the market as a new device offering which would mean sales if any would be nearly non existence.

Depends if you get a preliminary injunction or not, which, as you can see from the trial date, would be pretty damaging.
Also, half of these lawsuits are just publicity stunts. By calling the Galaxy Nexus a "copycat product", millions of idiots who haven't even looked one up just read about it and automatically assume that it is.

Because Samsung CUT on potential Apple profit and PASTED it to their bank account..

Half of the stuff Apple has patented was invented by someone else (rectangle shape). It's pure abuse to the patent system.

apple won because intelligence is overrated.

Apple won because it was then their back yard. Case should of been moved to another state at the very least.
Plus a better chance it'll be overturned on appeal. Multiple parts of the case can be brought up to try and overturned it.
I think the fact the jury came to this decision in 3 days despite the amount on evidence they had the duty to go through is suspicious enough.
Seems the jury wanted to just say this so they can leave type of deal.

"We're coming from a pure power source"

Honestly, Samsung is guilty as charged. They need to stop spending money and time in trying to build ****ty proprietary apps that resemble iOS apps and sell their devices as Nexus devices. Clean Android. Nobody chooses a Samsung phone over an HTC phone because of the ROM and apps. It ALWAYS comes down to hardware.

Apple isn't completely innocent from copying others work. They just took advantage of the current patent laws. Thomas Edison pulled the same crap.
"We're coming from a pure power source"

Pretty much everything apple has ever made software wise is just a "simpler more user friendly" rippoff. That's what apples whole sales pitch is! These lawsuits are just a perfect waste of the court system IMO. Also these idiot judges that side with them are breaking the law by attempting to create a monopoly.

I like Touchwiz apps. I don't like the launcher but that's just personal opinion. I don't particularly like the Nexus either. For me it IS a combination of the software and the hardware.
The fact that they stated that the SGS series and the iPhone were similar and that the Galaxy Tab and the iPad aren't shows that the jury lacked the competence to make an informed decision. The tablets are far more similar than any of the phones. Also the fact that they disregarded concept sketches to "save time" shows that this who lawsuit was mishandled. This shouldn't have come down to a jury.

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.

SAMSUNG Court Case
Well, all I have to say is...if the developers keep turning out stuff like this latest nightly, 08/31 CM10, Apple is going to sue them.
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.!
