Samsung officially adds the iPhone 5 towards its infringement lawsuit, says Apple violated 8 of its patents

"But why in 2014?"

That is how long it takes to get to trial. I am wondering why Sammy did not file with the ITC (much quicker decision timeframe with ITC)?

Because they didn't know apple was going to be a scumbag and sue the producer for it's A5/A 6 chips

About time. I was expecting them to try to get a preliminary ban before it went on sale. Was very disappointed it's taken until now to add it to the list, and even longer for it to get reviewed.
Samsung needs a more aggressive legal team, as long as they do everything correct.

Samsung got in trouble for their pending Apple lawsuit by US regulators. I don't think this lawsuit is fair.

It's called self-defense. If someone robs you wouldn't you want to fight to get it back?

great point...

but actually this kind of idea will never end.. so giving up doesnt mean that you're a loser but forgiveness should be implemented!

they should just agree to each other! but this companies wont settle down..so i think it will never happen...

i just dont like why the trial is still on 2014... by that time, new iPhone are revealed!

i thought its faster to file in the US?

tell that to apple

Samsung is suing Apple as a defense mechanism, just like the rest of the industry. If you want the lawsuits to stop, the first thing you got to do is get Apple to stop being a patent troll and a litigation bully. These lawsuits never kicked into over drive until Apple decided litigation was better than innovation.

Agree. only thing apple good at is marketing. Media is also to blame for portraying apple products as something from heavens. Even here on PA some authors never leave a chance to praise and defend apple.
but Google/Android is an unstoppable force. only the fittest will survive this race. only time will tell how far apple goes.

The consumers don't seem affected, as there's not yet been any ban against the infringing apple devices. Same can't be said of hopefule Samsung shoppers though... HTC as well.

Also, I'd like to add that Apple is filing lawsuits just to slow down Samsung because they know they can't compete with the innovation and technology. That's why they turn to them to get their parts for their phones. And as far as their marketing goes, I saw a commercial from Apple that said, "How can something get bigger, yet smaller at the same time?" How many phones have grown in phone and screen size yet decreased in weight and thickness? Apple had a major fail on the iPhone 5 and these lawsuits. Even if nothing else happens for Samsung, they have to pay out $1billion to Apple. Samsung had wayyyy more revenue than that, and gained way more future stability by "copying" rounded corners and stupid patents that shouldn't be allowed to be patented. Small price to pay for a Giant like Samsung.
