well everyone sees this as a payback time for APPLE
but the real hero from the story is GOOGLE which decided not to sue the i-asses and showing the i-assed "narrow minded and closed sourced" people that google is a MATURED company compared to i-assed company that say "ALL SQUARES WITH ROUNDED CORNERS".belong to them.
google only wishes people (WHICH EVEN INCLUDES THE iassed iphone OWNERS) to enjoy it's innovations.

Google tried too hard to be the peacekeeper. They are like the UN, all talk and no action. Someone needs to step up to the game.

DIdnt expect this from Samsung, Google maybe but not Samsung.

Tit for tat; whats good for the goose , etc? Maybe....but Apple had to know this might happen.

One more thing....Touchwiz notification features were or are nice. Many ppl wanted it in custom ROMs, or apps. How is a company (Apple) gonna sue, claim copying and turn around and have a notification feature that smells alot like a competitors?

I think, in the longer run, it will just confuse the consumers over which phones to pick from. I am a big Samsung fan but I belive these patent wars must end.

Love it. In Korea this case will easily be a Samsung victory. Way to go Samsung. Apple is the one that wanted the war with Android, well they got it.

i do believe google didn't invent that nofitication but they were the first to use well on android. the IOS is a really ripped off of the android one. also i dont think sammy have the right to sue anyone over this.

P.S: so tired , i dont think what i wrote makes any sense. i wrote it anyway :D

Google has actually patented part of Android? That's a shocker. I would say that Samsung has "enhanced" the default Android Notification system because they are not exactly the same. Good to see an Android manufacturer suing Apple over an Android feature rather than Apple trying to sue the manufacturer over an Android feature.

this is pathetic and the law suits need to stop.

You guys know wrong. Google has no patent of notification Center. However Samsung got this patent in Sep/2000 at Korea. Even before Google made Android, Samsung got this 12 years ago. It is Samsung's long history of phone business. Apple and Google are just newcomers to phone business.

lmfao... Samsung has completely lost the plot. Patents relating to event notifications are way too broad to be considered "non-essential". It therefore comes as no surprise that samsung would only try to pull something as stupid as this on its home soil.

Apple made a mess of copying android's idea anyway. when you get a notification, it disappears and you won't see it until you pull down from the top, possibly several hours after the notification was received. Android shows a little unobtrusive icon in the top left hand corner, which is easy to see so you would never miss it. EPIC FAIL APPLE.

This is WHAT SAMSUNG should of show in their trail here in the STATES. APPLE DID STEAL THE NOTIFACTION BAR and yet still got a way with it. But Apple got away with a billion dollars so low of them to copy someone else.
