Apple has its complaint against Samsung expanded with more indictments and more ‘copied’ devices. Where Apple are arrows first focused on Galaxy S variants, is now also the Galaxy S II is involved in the indictment of Apple.
Apple accuses Samsung of it ‘more than other manufacturers’ to have contravened the patents of Apple, including in the field of design. The indictment this week further tightened and extended with several new patents, writes patentspecialist Florian Mueller after analysis of the indictment.
Apple has number of products to that of the iPhone or iPad derived would be extended from 14 to 28. Where previously the Galaxy S and Nexus S, according to Apple copies of the iPhone in terms of design, software and packaging, there are now fourteen smartphones and tablets have been added. Below it are logical choices, such as on the iPad-like Galaxy Tab 10.1, but also the hardware of Samsung which on the eye have little in common seem to have with Apple products such as the Samsung F700 and Replenish, a portrait qwerty smartphone with as a selling point of eco-friendliness. Also the Galaxy S II is in the charge involved.
Samsung and Apple are since april involved in a battle for patents. The iPhone maker took the initiative by stating that the Galaxy S elements of the iPhone copied. It can still take a long time before this case comes to an end. Because there is a run on five different levels, seems to be a settlement eventually for the hand. Apple found recently a settlement with Samsung’s competitor Nokia, which the iPhone-maker a lot of money to pay for licenses on patents.
