Samsung replies to Apple with a lawsuit for patent Violation

Samsung has not been slow to replicate Apple's complaint for violation of patents and has filed another against the manufacturer of iPhone for the same reasons. Samsung specifically alleges that Apple violates his 10 patents in the field of mobile communications and requires you to stop and compensation.

In a statement, the Korean company says responding to lawsuits brought against him to "protect our intellectual property" and to pursue innovation and growth in the communications sector. Among the patents that Samsung quoted the need to affect battery consumption, the reduction of errors during communications and wireless systems.


Samsung has filed suit in South Korea, Japan and Germany. It so happens that Apple is the second Samsung global client, behind Sony, for supplies. Apple and Samsung are competing in the mobile business, but Apple closed a deal earlier this year of 7.8 billion dollars (5,800 million euros) with the Korean company to guarantee a series of components for their phones and tablets.

Apple's interest focuses on the Super PLS would improve the resolution of the display of the tablet. The existence of the agreement is clear from a perusal of Apple's quarterly reports which include a reserve of 3.9 billion dollars for a supply contract unspecified but presumably qualified strategic help to improve the quality of screens.

Samsung is the main competitor to Apple in the area of the tablets. The Galaxy last year launched its seven-inch screen and equipped with Google's operating system, Android. Unlike Apple, Samsung supports Flash, Adobe. This year will launch a new version of the tablet with a screen of 10.1.

Its range of smartphones it competes with Apple products. The mobile phone market is full of cross-manufacturers claims for infringement of patents, most of which claim to protect against litigation initiated by a competitor. Samsung's answer was already announced by the company since the time this week, Apple sued the Korean company.

Demand for Apple, presented formally in a California court, the headquarters of the company Steve Jobs, argues that the design, appearance and even the Galaxy product packaging are a "blatant copy" of Apple. Unlike other patent litigation, the arguments are not very technical or specific: "When a Galaxy Samsung is used in public," he says in the arguments of the claim "there is little doubt that might seem like an Apple product design" .

A spokesperson for Samsung has said that his motives are a product of his own research team and to be defended properly in court.
