Samsung intends to fight Apple's product ban request against the Galaxy S III in the US

0. phoneArena posted on 07 Jun 2012, 09:13

Samsung plans to "demonstrate to the court that the Galaxy S III is innovative and distinctive", which it is to do before June 21, when the Galaxy S III is supposed to hit shelves on most major US carriers. This will give its sales a head start against Apple's next iPhone, whenever it launches this year, and if Cupertino succeeds with the preliminary ban, things can get ugly, considering how long these lawsuits take to be resolved...

'Good artists copy, great artists steal.' We have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.' - Father of the Year

But not sure what your point is. You just listed 2 x things, cloud and voice assistant, that are clearly prior art that were in no way invented by Apple.

Not invented by Apple, but definitely copied by Samsung

64. chadrick0814 posted on 07 Jun 2012, 11:54 8

So Apple didn't copy them ...or I should say, steal them? Its amazing that when Apple creates their own version you think they are 'innovating. When Samsung, HTC, Motorola....or pretty much any major competitor creates their own version then they are copying. You just might be a hypocrite. Apple takes it a step further by suing....then another step further by seeking a ban

I actually liked the way you said. Double like your comment.

It's alright, folks... it is clear that taco hates copying, but is perfectly okay with stealing.

56. Sackboy117 posted on 07 Jun 2012, 11:49 1

Because Samsung trolls Apple in their products and not in court :)

Apple's new corporate strategy:

1) Find an excuse to block all other competitors' latest flagship devices...
2) ... but don't block Nokia's latest flagship device... they are Microsoft's play toy...
3) ... and don't block Sony's latest flagship devices... Sony is where we plan to maroon Android's future...
4) ... and don't block RIM's latest devices... they make US look good.
5) Keep all excuses on-file, just in case we do need to sue the living snot out of our current "pass recipients."
6) Consider competitors' newest ideas that can be "adapted" for use in the next iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
7) Assemble and brief our patent trolls and our litigation attorney team.
8) Unleash the trolls and attorneys on everyone except the "pass recipients."
9) Send menacing "reminders" to, and collect the "protection money" from, all "pass recipients."
10) Bring in the accounting team to count and stockpile our earnings.
11) A moment of silence in memory of Steve "The Innovator" Jobs...
12) Go back to step 1.

61. hepresearch (unregistered) posted on 07 Jun 2012, 11:52 2

I wasn't fast enough to edit this in time before the next poster. So...

Edit: "The Innovator" should read "The GREAT Innovator"...

By the way, I love twelve-step programs...

If Apple manages to include the SIII in its current motion against Samsung, or finds a way to delay SIII sales, Samsung can get sue Apple for the losses on projected sales. The SIII has seen 9million pre-orders so far, now imagine how many billions Apple stand to lose. They are so stupid because they do not have a leg to stand on in this case.

If you remember this is the trick Apple tried to use against Moto- that if Moto gets an injunction against some Apple gadgets, and they lose the case, Apple would sue them for the losses. I don't quite remember what happened with that story but yeah, Samsung can use the same trick on its inventors.

216. zhypher_23 posted on 07 Jun 2012, 20:54 1

I know right, that's why i hate apple, they're just being so naive about their so called "own ideas" which in fact are not really theirs, their the one's who should be sued !

Again apple makes publicity for Samsung
Thanks Apple but we all know there is a very nice new phone from Samsung and nothing from you

15. aooep posted on 07 Jun 2012, 10:10 6

Not only that, but this publicity makes apple look like the rotten bad guy (which i can't say is wrong)

8. Cerberusa2a posted on 07 Jun 2012, 09:37 5

this better not delay the launch of the s3, I will strike against apple...possibly break their sh*t

9. GuiltyBystander posted on 07 Jun 2012, 09:39 9

I'm sick of Apple's anti competitive attitude...

10. imkyle posted on 07 Jun 2012, 09:45 3

Apple you are the number one cell phone and the number one tablet in the world. Give it a rest already.

22. AFnerdTP posted on 07 Jun 2012, 10:31 1

oops, didn't mean to thumb down.. lol sorry

23. tedkord posted on 07 Jun 2012, 10:31 8

But , with 9 million preorders (not even counting the Big $ in the US), that #1 position in smartphones is looking mighty vulnerable, and that is what really scares Apple.

120. imkyle posted on 07 Jun 2012, 12:46 4

I agree that Apple should be scared, but to keep trying to ban a product from being sold in a country is pathetic. Instead of trying to invent a product to compete with their competition they would rather do this crap. Shows Apple's weak side IMO.

11. Justsadd posted on 07 Jun 2012, 09:45 8

the apple4s is copying the galaxy s2 voice command first then the siri is coming out...now galaxy s3 is improve only from galaxy s2....apple always is loser ...nothing special apple...don't waste the money for apple product...copy dog

12. InspectorGadget80 posted on 07 Jun 2012, 09:52 13

APPLE IS REALLY PISSING A LOT OF PEOPLE OFF right after they pre order their phone. APPLE IS THE WORST MOST HATED COMPANY in the world. FIGHT ON SAMSUNG!

13. becazican posted on 07 Jun 2012, 10:00 4

why doesnt someone file a nuisance suit against apple, there must be a law on the book for them to use against a company that is always filing frivolous lawsuits. damn i hate apple

14. Bluesky02 posted on 07 Jun 2012, 10:10 6

I can confidently say that this time Apple will no doubt loose this case. It's so cheap.

16. taz89 posted on 07 Jun 2012, 10:11 5

Yes got my s3 today...love it,maybe a tad bigger than I woipd have liked but the screen and everything else isworth it

17. glf752 posted on 07 Jun 2012, 10:11 6

I would be pissed if this ban go through...after i have preordered this phone and i don't get it....i might break my ipad...i use my xoom more anyways

66. jacko1977 posted on 07 Jun 2012, 11:56 4

21. Raymond_htc posted on 07 Jun 2012, 10:21 3

Apple... a tech company in the USA, California that loves to sue.... Sue for copying design.... sue for S voice and siri... What next?! sue for touch panel similarity?!

24. tedkord posted on 07 Jun 2012, 10:34 5

The hypocrisy is astounding - to sue for copying at the same time you announce you're working on a Galaxy Note type of stylus, after years of saying that a stylus was a fail.

32. taco50 (banned) posted on 07 Jun 2012, 11:31 5

1. Apple didn't announce anything about a stylus. They filed a patent.

2. The patent read that their stylus is unique in its function

140. PhoneArenaUser posted on 07 Jun 2012, 13:20 3

"...stylus is unique in its function..."

???

154. hepresearch (unregistered) posted on 07 Jun 2012, 13:36 5

on #2... they just essentially patented Samsung's S-Pen from the Galaxy Note, which already existed.

26. GALAXY-S posted on 07 Jun 2012, 10:38 3

oh wow what a great way to start the day... another apple law suit.
SGS3 has nothing similar to the iphone or to any of apples products .. like remixfa said S-voice is an upgrade to their long standing android voice navigation app.
Apple is stupid and will only get more recognition for samsung

28. ekia007 posted on 07 Jun 2012, 10:58 7

Oh come on. Apple , Seriously? Siri is not your proprietary. You acquired Siri Inc. You didn't invent anything. So stop saying like you own the voice assistant serivce. Don't try to lawsuit on every single Android devices when you can't compete. Stop it and Invent yourself. Jezzzzzzz.

34. frydaexiii posted on 07 Jun 2012, 11:32 6

Please, All Samsung has to do is challenge Apple : Name one of the new features (other than S-Voice, which is a voice assistant which is widely available on Android Market) that is on the current iPhone.

Popup play? Nope
Smart Stay? Nope
S-Beam? Nope
720P display? Nope

Wanna bet Apple will "innovate" these features into the new iPhone?

70. jacko1977 posted on 07 Jun 2012, 11:59 5

u mean copy

245. FunkyEyez posted on 08 Jun 2012, 04:46 2

they'll not only copy but they try to put some patent on "their new innovative features" and later sue every other competitors which will use these features

35. hitechredneck posted on 07 Jun 2012, 11:33 3

Let's face it when Steve Jobs died so did Apple.

btw... love the screen name...

45. mafiaprinc3 posted on 07 Jun 2012, 11:43 4

Apple is the most pathetic company to have ever existed on the globe,instead of wasting money on lawsuits on a company innovating things they can't why dont they use it for R&D. i like apple products but seriously there is a limit to this nonsense, APPLE CROSSED THE THRESHOLD LONG TIME AGO!!!

47. taz89 posted on 07 Jun 2012, 11:43 4

lets face it people is it any surprise that apple are trying to stop the s3 in the US considering how big it will be.if the recent leaks of the iphone 5 are true then you can see why apple are doing this

49. driveme posted on 07 Jun 2012, 11:44 4

There are very few companies that I take a stand against but Apple is one of them. I will never support a company like Apple. They will never get my business and the business of anyone in my home. Take a stand people against a company like this. Remind them that it is the consumer that is in charge not the company.

55. jduran541977 posted on 07 Jun 2012, 11:49 3

apple is afraid of samsung galaxy s3 look how well is selling over seas and they are afraid now because is coming way before iphone 5 and even the iphone 5 it will be a trash piss of s**t

This has been a great week. Product leaks building up the hype for WWDC next week. I'm very excited and now these product bans to put frosting on the cake. Looks like it will be a rough summer for Samsung and the soulless android crew.

Apple shouldn't be the developer for the world. Stop copying!!

Don't mind the comment above me, I didn't copy this from anyone . . . .

'Good artists copy, great artists steal'

"Stop copying.". Was that comment directed towards Apple. Seeing that they are on the record acknowledging their copying. You can't be that much of a hypocrite.

116. hepresearch (unregistered) posted on 07 Jun 2012, 12:38 1

Actually, they are not acknowledging that they have copied anything... they have only acknowledged a little IP theft, because they are such great artists!

don't worry, they're not.
