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 ....

good one, bro!

this **** is just too much already...

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..
http://phandroid.com/2012/01/20/samsung-loses-3g-technology-patent-claim-against-apple-in-germany/

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

Inb4 Apple sues Samsung for creating a Home button...

Apple will try to keep its feet up as high as they can. They know they're going to fail soon lmao

Yea apple is inevitably going to need a radical change to keep up with the times, or they'll end up fading like RIM (blackberry). Lawsuits wont save the company, they are on borrowed time and they know it.

Apple Granted UI Patent That Could Spell Big Trouble for Competitors

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?

It won't/can't unless nobody is willing to change it. A simple patch could remove scrollbars altogether and then its a non-issue.

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. Seriously they'd have to sue for the next two models just to make 2014 a relevant model or even year.

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..
yeah, copycat..

The 4G radio's in the phone do not work correctly in a large number of devices. I can only imagine how many users of this phone who do not visit sites like this are dealing with a GNEX that the 4G radio's craps out on and needs reboting to bring it back or the ones who can't even hold a 4G signal.

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.

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.

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.!
