Samsung Carries Out It's Promise And Counter-sues Apple - Polidicks

[release]Hit by a lawsuit from Apple last week, Samsung returned the favor yesterday, countersuing the iPhone and iPad maker over claims of patent infringement. In its suit filed in Seoul Central District Court, Samsung claims that Apple is violating five different patents. Samsung has also filed a suit in Tokyo, citing two patent infringements, and another in Manheim, Germany, citing three patent infringements. A statement on the Samsung Web site says that the company is "responding actively to the legal action taken against us in order to protect our intellectual property and to ensure our continued innovation and growth in the mobile communications business." Last week, Apple launched its case against Samsung, claiming that Samsung's smartphones and new tablet violate Apple's intellectual property rights in the design of mobile devices. The legal parry and thrust could jeopardize the relationship between the two companies, notes Reuters, as Apple leans heavily on Samsung to supply chips and LCD displays for the iPhone and iPad. The two also reportedly have a huge deal in the works in which Apple would secure $7.8 billion worth of displays and processors from Samsung.

Oh what made Apple think they could get away with this so easily :allears: [QUOTE=MeMassiveFag;29353742][url]http://www.ndtv.com/article/world/apple-ceo-steve-jobs-has-just-six-weeks-to-live-report-86159[/url][/QUOTE] We're all dying, it's just a question of when, no good reason to act like a dick.

[QUOTE=MeMassiveFag;29353742][url]http://www.ndtv.com/article/world/apple-ceo-steve-jobs-has-just-six-weeks-to-live-report-86159[/url][/QUOTE] That was originally an article in an unreliable tabloid and they based it on a random picture. As in there was no diagnosis, just speculation from 1 picture. In other words it's a crock of shit.

The format of his name reminds me of the hulk from cartoons. Me hulk! Me smash! Me massive fag!

[QUOTE=ExplodingGuy;29353975]Sounds like Xbox Live.[/QUOTE] As an Xbox gamer myself, I must say that was just too low. To him, not Xbox Live.

FUCK YES! Time to get your bitchslap Apple, which pimp hand will it be?:smug:

Generally it's a bad idea to sue the company that you rely on for components for your own products

[QUOTE=Kondor58;29354506]Generally it's a bad idea to sue the company that you rely on for components for your own products[/QUOTE] Not really. If samsung refuses, there's many other hardware providers.

[QUOTE=johan_sm;29354613]Not really. If samsung refuses, there's many other hardware providers.[/QUOTE] yeah but that's like saying "fuck off i don't need to buy your expensive gas, i'll just get some cow farts from the farm"

[QUOTE=johan_sm;29354613]Not really. If samsung refuses, there's many other hardware providers.[/QUOTE] Samsung is pretty much the leading company for ARM chips. Just look at the Hummingbird and Orion chipset.

[QUOTE=PyroCF;29354665]Samsung is pretty much the leading company for ARM chips. Just look at the Hummingbird and Orion chipset.[/QUOTE] Also apple would have to rework a lot if they switched over to qualcomm cpus. Just imagine having to change the ipad 2 because samsung stops selling you exynos chips.

In the business world, profit comes before anger. Samsung will likely continue to sell components to Apple, there are finite customers in the world and we are still recovering from a global recession.

[QUOTE=garrynohome;29354700]Also apple would have to rework a lot if they switched over to qualcomm cpus. Just imagine having to change the ipad 2 because samsung stops selling you exynos chips.[/QUOTE] One could only dream of that happening.

:eng101: Okay, kids. [B]"It's" with an apostrophe is ALWAYS a short form for 'it is'.[/b] Therefore, it can not be used to show possession. On the other hand, [B]"Its" is used to show belonging or possession.[/B] For example: "It's about time for me to feed my dog its dinner." [editline]23rd April 2011[/editline] Sorry, OP. It's a compulsion on my part.

[QUOTE=mokkan;29353579]Dear samsung. Please stop selling apple your shit they obviously don't give a stuff about you.[/QUOTE] The relationship between Samsung and Apple is so incredibly large this lawsuit won't do anything at all when it comes to Samsung selling hardware to Apple. They'd both lose out on so much money, especially Samsung.
