Apple / HTC ITC filing - Engadget Galleries
Its a lot of reading but have at it03-04-10 09:46 AMLike 0 - I can understand you favor Apple, but if we are talking about unlocking gestures then LG should sue Apple. The LG prada introduced the swiping to unlock gesture that the iPhony so conveniently copied and claimed its own. Just like apple announced they "invented" copy and paste for the iphony....... Apple is just a sore little b�tch that is jealous when it doesn't get its way

but
This is the idea they are suing over a software feature. Apple really doesn't have a leg to stand on. the coding is different. the same software codes that make the apple do what it does it different than that of HTC's...
you can copyright software coding, granted. but if HTC is using different coding than apples it's really not a A:A match is a A:A1 match.... doesn't stack up.

The idea they are suing over PHYSICAL hardware i can agree with. If HTC used the same parts that Apple is using... okay fine what ever

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com03-04-10 12:58 PMLike 0 - isn't nokia suing apple for mobile patent infringements? i understand apples case. smart for them. if the judge gets htc with enough patents they will either have to discontinue the phones or pay royalities to use it. if apple gets their way they can make htc unavailable in the US and kill off the competition from android for some time until android gets new phones that dont abuse any patents.
personally i think this was launched because google is working their buts off with the OS (version 2.1 is being worked on atm) so mindaswell crush the phone maker to give apple some time to either a)upgrade the phone (which i heard the new version will have an improved OS) or something... anyone have a full list of all the 'copied' patents? i've only read about 3 of them03-04-10 01:20 PMLike 0 - The problem is that intellectual property laws can be quite complex. In this instance, they have to prove that there was an "inventive step" that could not be extrapolated by someone who had knowledge or used similar products and who had at least a working knowledge of that technology. That's a high level of proof.03-04-10 01:25 PMLike 0
- I don't know enough about patent laws to comment anymore about the topic.
But if Apple is right in this case the good for them and they should sue HTC.
If they are wrong in this case then thats good too. HTC won't be affected and apple will have spent a lot of money for nothing.
That's why they go to court.03-04-10 01:58 PMLike 0 - Reed McLayRetired ModeratorApple vs HTC: a patent breakdown - Engadget
most of the patents were granted in the past year, but overall they span a range from 1995 to February 2. ...
here are the takeaways: as of right now, it's impossible to predict what's going to happen in this case -- Apple and HTC could settle tomorrow, or it could turn into a ten year courtroom monster. But what we do know is that Apple's specifically gone after HTC's Android devices, and it's organized its attack very carefully: it's gone before the ITC with a collection of older patents on very deep OS-level functionality, which traditionally would be considered stronger patents, and it's gone before the federal court with a different set of patents that include some very new claims on user interface features. ...03-04-10 01:59 PMLike 0 -
and from reading that i looks like they are wanting to shut Android down completely.
i guess they are a tad scared.03-04-10 02:43 PMLike 0 - Morality? lol
I didnt know patent law involved morality, its WHO OWNS THE PATENT. PERIOD.
What you feel about it means zip zilch nodda. Its who owns the patents and the rights to the technology. There's no one to feel bad for these are 2 corporations who knew what they were doing, not a mother of 2 fallen into hard times....

They are a force to be reckoned with on their own let alone when Google gets involved.
This should be a fun battle to watch.

- If there is any justice in the world, the end result of this will be apple losing the patents they took out on ideas stolen from others and nothing else. Nothing against their products, I own many, but the behavior of the company towards it's customers and competitors is assinine.03-07-10 12:09 PMLike 0
- and you think Apple is the only one who does that? Try most companies in the world have used at least one idea from someone else, which is technically their intellectual property.
Doesnt look like only Apple to me fighting over patents for "borrowed" ideas
I guess everyone should just lose their patents then by that logic and wed never see any new technology.Last edited by stuaw11; 03-07-10 at 01:01 PM.

As far as patents go prior art invalidates the patent no matter who owns it.03-08-10 06:17 AMLike 0 - and you think Apple is the only one who does that? Try most companies in the world have used at least one idea from someone else, which is technically their intellectual property.

Sure we would, then how would any one stand above the rest...
remember : Competition is the mother of invention.
