No, this is not Central Hospital, but it could be. And it is that for many chapters that are closing of the patent war between Samsung and Apple, the truth is that a new season always arrives, with new protagonists and stories to tell. The plot continues, the central thread is the same, the lawsuit for patent infringement. But this time, there are slight changes, the iPhone 5 happens to be the protagonist, and the essence of the demand resides in the new LTE 4G connection of the Cupertino device, which is going to give a lot to talk about.
Of course, when you go through life as a superior, having patents that no one else has, and believing that you can do whatever you want in your little world, in the end you end up hitting the wall that you built yourself. We are talking about Apple, and this is its story. The American company founded by the late Steve Jobs and the still alive Steve Wozniak, started a war against the whole world. He wanted to do away with Android, and it was Jobs himself who said he would spend the last cent of the company to kill off those who copy others, referring to Google with its new operating system. However, the case against Samsung has gained much more popularity, in which they were sued, among other things, for having copied the icons. Yes, those little squares with rounded edges that only a genius could come up with and that never existed until Apple came along. Outside of ironies, those from Cupertino managed to win the trial, and the debt of one billion dollars, with the corresponding withdrawal of the terminals involved in the patent infringement was the harsh punishment that Samsung received.
But now, the South Korean company has decided to wage its own war. They have nothing to lose, whatever they do they will be attacked anyway, so why not defend yourself by counterattacking. That is what they have done, they have wanted to include in the process of patent infringement that they have open in the United States to the new iPhone 5. Apparently, everything indicates that Apple has infringed a patent by including LTE in its device. Specifically, in the antenna of the device, which appears to be patented by the South Koreans.
Illogical patents
Without a doubt, we think the same as we think in the past, that a patent for an antenna that in the end all users will want, and that you yourself benefit from expanding all over the world, should not have been registered. However, with the subject of patents, margin has always been left. There are many brands that are releasing devices with LTE and they are not in demand by Samsung. It is clear, therefore, that in reality, the reasons for attacking Apple are much more personal. They want the iPhone 5 withdraw from the US market, although that will be very difficult to achieve, especially considering that it is a trial in the United States.
Trial in 2014
In any case, the trial will take place around 2014. The company is already preparing for it, which will once again be headed by Lucy Koh, the first US district court judge of Korean descent. Without a doubt, Samsung will include in the process the next devices that Apple will bring to the market. By then, the iPhone 5 It will not be one of the company's best sellers, since we will have been able to see the new iPhone 6 ó iPhone 5S. Be that as it may, the fact that they have already started their judicial activity for a process that will take place in a year and a half is a clear indication that the interests that exist and the force with which they want to attack both parties are very important. watch out.
