THE CONFLICT BETWEEN SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS VS APPLE INC

Hi Guys, back again with me. Now, i would like to discuss the topic about the conflict between Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd vs Apple Incorporation. This topic come up to analyze what was happened, what's causing this problem and all things related with these both big enterprises feud. 


The conflicts between Samsung Incorporation and Apple Incorporation was began regarding with the design of the smartphones and tablets computer. Apple sued its component supplier Samsung, alleging in a 38-page federal complaint on April 15 2011 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California that several of Samsung's Android phones and tablets, including the Nexus S, Epic 4G, Galaxy S 4G, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab, infringed on Apple's intellectual property: its patents, trademarks, user interface and style. Apple's complaint included specific federal claims for patient infringement, false designation of origin, unfair competition, and trademark infringement, as well as state-level claims for unfair competition, common law trademark infringement, and unjust enrichment.

Apple's evidence submitted to the court side-by-side image comparisons of iPhone 3GS and i9000 Galaxy S to illustrate the alleged similarities in packaging and icons for apps. However, the images were later found to have been tampered with in order to make the dimensions and features of the two different products seem more similar, and counsel for Samsung accused Apple of submitting misleading evidence to the court.

Samsung counter-sued Apple on April 22 2011 filing federal complaints in courts in Seoul, Tokyo and Mannheim, Germany, alleging Apple infringed Samsung's patents for mobile-communications technologies. By summer, Samsung also filed suits against Apple in the British High Court of Justice, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, and with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) in Washington D.C., all in June 2011.

This problem began when Apple claims that Samsung deliberately copied the design of the iPhone and iPad includes the product packaging in Galaxy smartphone and Galaxy Tab tablet. Apple is preparing a list of Samsung violated patents and a graphic presentation showing the changes in the design of the Samsung mobile phone before and after the presence of the iPhone. Instead, Samsung has denied all claims saying that Apple and consumer electronics industries routinely week inspiration from the products in the past. Samsung preparing a presentation graphics themselves against accusations of Apple and indicates that the company had made a mock-up mobile phone with full touch interface before iPhone entered the market. To strike back, Samsung says that Apple violated a number of patents related to his use of technology in mobile phones.

This was occurred no other because of money reason and the banned also related to the product that violated the patents. Apple asked the compensation for about USD 2,52 billion. Samsung claimed the royalty payment in the amount of 2,4 percents from selling value from each Apple's sold devices.

In August 2011, Apple and Samsung were litigating 19 ongoing cases in nine countries worldwide and by October, the legal disputes expanded to ten countries. By July 2012, the two companies were still embroiled in more than 50 lawsuits around the globe, with billions of dollars in damages claimed between them. While Apple won a ruling in its favor in the U.S., Samsung won rulings in South Korea, Japan and the UK. On June 4 2013, Samsung won a limited ban for the U.S. International Trade Commissions on sales certain Apple products such as iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, etc. after the commissions found Apple had violated a Samsung patent.

Well, actually this conflict can be solved if these two giants want to make peace with each other and giving mutual support for both of them innovations, instead they can cooperate with each other and can be a partner to support each other and focus on their each progress for the future.

So, this is the end of my discussion related with the conflict between Apple Incorporation and Samsung Electronics, Ltd. Thanks for reading and visiting my blog. God bless You all...^^
