Infinite legal saga going on between Samsung and Apple, this time a judge of the court of Court in 'Hague, the Netherlands, has deserved the honors of the limelight. The measure decided by the Dutch court is as follows: all the tablet and smartphone Samsung Galaxy, based on version 2.2.1 and higher of Android and free software update "blue flash" should be withdrawn from the market with immediate effect. The block sales is motivated by the violation of an Apple patent for the interface navigation of galleries (in other words the system of slide-show mode touch). The update in question concerns specifically a proprietary software that Samsung had integrated into its products last year to change the display mode of the photos and bypass the previous injunction ratified by the Netherlands courts (with its block of sales) in August 2011. The new ruling affects so the only Galaxy models on the market with the old software (the only infringing the patent referred to above) and, according to well-informed, should probably not many.
The Korean chaebol, in any case, will be required to pay a fine of € 100 thousand for each day of non-compliance with the judgment, until its products are not actually removed from the shelves, and must also communicate to the court the proceeds obtained sales of devices charged from the date of the end of June 2011, the calculation of compensation due to the Cupertino company. Apple, in fact, entering a new victory after a turn due receivable (last week) the decision of a judge of the U.S. Federal Trade Communications about the obligation to show to rival the terms of the license agreement reached with HTC to close all the outstanding legal disputes with the house in Taiwan.
The spokesman of Samsung have made it known that he had received with great disappointment the decision of the judge in Holland the Dutch producer was acquitted of breaching a patent for multitouch technology from Apple in January and awaits the judgment of a ' other cause which he sees as opposed to Apple as regards the design of the tablet.
The game on stamped paper between the two companies dominating in the mobile arena is therefore far closer epilogue (Samsung has just filed a new motion in the California court against the iPad and the new iPad mini) as is the ever-living battle for patents among other protagonists of the universe smartphone. Yesterday, in fact, the news that Research in Motion losing out by the dispute started at the Chamber of Commerce of Stockholm on the use aboard the BlackBerry wireless technologies owned by Nokia. Rim, in a nutshell, breached the contractual terms of a license agreement in 2003, renovated in 2008 and then became the subject of contenzionso the middle of 2011. The action taken by the Canadian home to include the exploitation of specific patents to Nokia Wireless Lan on their smartphones with Wi-Fi connectivity has paid off: the Swedish arbitration Rim imputes to the guilt of having used that protected by copyright without paying a penny of royalties and now risks (in addition to a heavy compensation) blocking sales of the BlackBerry in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.
