Samsung forced to "upgrade" some Galaxy smartphones in Europe over Apple lawsuit

No, it's what we call "fixing an issue so you can keep selling a product your competitor doesn't want you to sell."

What we call wetting the pants in public is what Apple did by throwing all of these lawsuits around.

It's not a big deal.

It's only the "rubber band effect" in galleries that's being changed. And most likely the "patent" will be voided--as the judge said it most likely isn't a valid patent. However it needs to be challenged in a higher court now.

Just one of the 267 "design patents" out of 317 patents with Steve Jobs name on them. . . at least 9 were struck down in this little court endeavor :)

The real big pisser is the venture patent trolls that have nothing anyone can actually sue them back over--that's just total BS = our gadgets are just going to keep getting more costly because of a few billionaires that apparently just don't have enough money yet = pricks!

The point of their lawsuits have been the same throughout, to disrupt Samsung's business. They delayed those devices til the launch of the 4S, in that respect they were pretty successful.

You can get any retail item with limited effort through the internet and black market but on an official scale they were delayed and it did disrupt Samsung's business. They had to battle the lawsuits and couldn't ship the product.

Can't do that Remixfa. It is a stock photo viewer app that got them in trouble. This an Android related one.

the stock viewer is nothing like apple. Android's native picture viewer is so far ahead of the basic blandness of iOS its not funny. if it were a stock viewer patent problem, they would go directly after google.. or at least hit the other manufacturers with the same lawsuit... since they would obviously have a case.
