SAMSUNG Q1

Because of these reasonsApple field a suit in a US court

against SAMSUNG,Claiming that they copied

Apple’s design for its Galaxy Phones.

Let’s see what

SAMSUNG copies from Apple…

A rectangular product shape with all four corners uniformly rounded

The front surface of the product dominated by a screen surface with

black borders

Substantial black borders above and below the screen having

roughly equal widthand

narrower black borders on either side of the screen having

roughly equal width

A metallic surround framing the perimeter of the top surface

A display of a grid of colorful square icons with uniformly rounded corners.

A bottom row of icons set off from the other icons and that do not change as

the pages of the user interface are viewed.

Apple claimed that SAMSUNG also imitated Apple’s product packaging

trade dress

Apple claimed that in addition to copying Apple’s product trade dress, SAMSUNG has also copied numerous application icons in which apple had

valid trademark rights as shown below.

Apple claimed that SAMSUNG’s infringement of the Apple utility

patents provided SAMSUNG with unique functionality for its product that was the result of

Apple’s innovation, and not SAMSUNG’s.

Apple claimed that SAMSUNG’s USB cables are a clear knock-off of Apple’s designs.

Apple claimed that power adapters used for SAMSUNG’s smartphones, which are almost an exact replica of Apple’s USB power adapters

And….

Finally The jury ordered

Samsung to pay Apple$1.05 billion

According to my opinion…

Appleis more innovative than

SAMSUNG
