Apple vs Samsung - New patent lawsuit filed (again!)

[Roger H. Veteran]

You can now add one more case to the long list of disputes between Apple and Samsung. As PaidContent reports, Apple filed a lawsuit against Samsung in the Northern District of California federal court on Tuesday, seeking a temporary injunction on the basis of two patents it obtained in December. One of those reportedly concerns the autocorrect feature found on iPhones and iPads, but details on the case otherwise remain a bit light as the complaint itself is still under seal. We'll keep you posted as we get more information.

I'm not sure how anyone can look at Apple and say they are anything but patent trolls really. This company is just so unhealthy for technology eco-system that any good things they have done in terms of polished products is negated by this trolling, anti-competitive, downright evil things it's doing. I just don't get it. Are people that dense that they can't see what kind of company they are supporting. It's crazy.

I think a patent against patent lawsuits should be brought into force!

some how i just new Boz would be posting here lol

personally ALL the suing over this suing over that is just getting plain silly and getting old fast

What do you expect? Apple is losing its other suits against Samsung and now Apple is trying to do more to keep Samsung at bay. And then Apple wines how unfair they are being treated.

This is all really stupid on both ends and its just going to get worse before it gets better. And it won't be getting better any time soon.

Here is some more info....

I?m not even going to bother to write about this patent mess. We all know the system is broken, and that any change for the better is not going to dawn upon us any time in the foreseeable future.

What I will let you know is the main bullet points: the filing was done at the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The preliminary injunction request against the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is based on four patents, as quoted by FOSS PATENTS:

1. the ?data tapping? patent based on which the ITC ordered an
   import ban against HTC
   
   
2. a patent related to Siri and unified search, which must be of
   huge
   concern to Google with a view to its core business
   
   
3. a new slide-to-unlock patent that
   even had the head of the Taiwanese government profoundly worried
   
   
4. a word completion patent that provides major speed improvements for touchscreen text entry
   
   

The first one, considering it succeeded against HTC, is most certainly a win for Apple. I?m not aware of the details of the second one, but it?s the last two that get me really irritated. However, I can hardly say I expected anything else when I learnt they were granted these patents as recently as last year.

I'm not just look at his workstation pictures that he posted here:

http://www.neowin.ne...t__p__594586253

I spot in those images:

1x Mac Pro

1x MacBook Air

1x Magic Trackpad

1x iPad

1x iPhone 4

1x iPhone 3GS (Could be 3G)

2x iPod Docks (Apple branded ones)

1x iPad Dock (Possibly by Apple?)

He has a lot of Apple stuff which is why I find it really humerous that he would say something like "Are people that dense that they can't see what kind of company they are supporting." I'd consider myself an Apple user but even I don't have that many Apple computers. He has me beat with the Mac Pro and two iPhones and that Magic Trackpad.
