I'm glad someone put this up again.
Samsung blatantly ripped Apple off on their IP (shown above), which is why Apple filed suit against them. Apple is not infringing on any of Samsung's IP even slightly.
I really don't see how any of this is going to hold up in court. All I see is one company crying about not being allowed to copy someone's ideas.
It's different when Apple copies because Steve makes Magical farts.

Don't go home mad Appleboy.... just go home.
They are crying because they are allowed to blatently copy in some countries, but are selling first and suing and being sued later in the others, who are so petulant as to respect IP as if it were property of the inventor.
Rocketman
I hate to break it to you but while it's possible to boycott Apple products it's downright impossible to boycott Samsung products. Their electronics are inside of just about every consumer electronic product out there. When you buy Apple you also support Samsung. So, in order for you to boycott Samsung you'll have to boycott Apple. Nice, eh?
That also shows very little. You need to understand that Samsung is BEHEMOTH of a company. What you fail to realize is the profits Samsung was making when Apple was barely making any years and years ago. Also, based on how most Asian providence work, Samsung DOES NOT need to account for their subsidiaries in their revenue/income/profit reports. So in essence, companies Samsung fully owns in one sense or another are not accounted for their balance sheets and reports.
EDIT: Heres a small piece of information:
"Veiled revenue Consolidated revenue is the sum of the revenues perceived by the company and the revenues from its subsidiaries all together. In FY 2009, Samsung Group had a revenue of 220 trillion KRW ($$172.5 billion), financial results are based on parent companies. In FY 2010, Samsung reported 280 trillion KRW($258 billion) worth of revenue, and 30 trillion KRW($27.6 billion) profit.(* Based upon a KRW=USD exchange rate of 1,084.5KRW per USD, the spot rate as of 19 August 2011) However, they also do not contain the revenues of overseas subsidiaries, and no one knows about real revenues."
Either way you look at it, Apple would be nowhere without Samsung in terms of technology due to Samsung's history of innovating key components used in everyday electronics. However, the same could be said that Samsung smartphones may also not be how they are today without seeing success from the iPhone...

Maybe some of us just on an a Mac OS X device because they find iOS devices not so attractive.
The Dutch injunction is absolutely meaningless. It was caused by a photo gallery app change that can be fixed prior to being sold. In other words, Apple spent **** loads of time and money, losing their community designs because of minimalism, to get a temp ban because of transitions between photos.
I think Samsung should do it Nokia/Apple style; mutually drop all suits and just move on.
Forget market cap, Samsung has a like $300 billion in assets plus market and contracts. They make battleships and such; what the heck would Apple do with battleships?

Companies such as HTC and other phones makers pay patent fees to Samsung for using 3G, except Apple
Well you shouldnt be able to patent a bunch of fingers touching something. 3G is an actual invention.
Sigh. Apple didn't lose their community designs in the Dutch court. They lost one patent for their slide to unlock implementation. The Dutch ruling was for a preliminary injunction. The full court case is a year or so away.
If they make ships like they do phones am surprised they are not all at the bottom of the ocean now, I went into Orange store today to sort out iPad contract and while I was waiting I held a Galaxy SII and it felt like a childrens toy, Samsung phones are made of cheap materials and feel tacky
Samsung blatantly made a rectangular phone with a flat black screen on the front, yes. What, did you expect them to make a triangular phone with a bumpy bright pink screen?
How was Samsung 'infringing' on Apple's IP? They designed a phone with corners? Yet when Samsung sues Apple for a genuine patent relating to an actual technology, you tell me that Apple isn't infringing on any of Samsung's IP. Hilarious.
Actually, all I see is one company (*cough*Apple*cough*) crying about someone stealing their 'idea' for corners.
My post from two pages back was directed squarely at people just like you.
Look at your other posts in this thread:
When you're on an Apple forum, supporting Apple, yet you still get downranked, you know you're doing something wrong.

Apple have a big war chest $ wise just sitting in the bank, they should use some of it to have the biggest marketing campaign in electronics history and send Samsung the way of the dinosaurs, declare war on Samsung and crush them to the point that they pull out of the mobile and tablet industry in humilliation, god I despise Samsung now
why what possible effect can this have on your life do you own apple or apple stock , your merely a customer nothing more
i can understand looking at facts and coming to a conclusion one way or another but to claim you despise a whole company just cos they are sueing and been sued is beyond me
or people will applaud it as a way of Samsung showing it will not be bullied by Apples pathetic methods of blocking competition.
Apple has been a huge part of my life for a good part of 20 years, I have queued up all night for products outside of stores countless times, I have used Apple products hours a day every day, they are almost an extended family to me even if Steve and Tim wouldn't piss on me if I was on fire in the street so when someone is disrespectful to Apple like Samsung are being I feel almost like someone is disrespecting my brother or sister so yes I severely want to see Samsung humilliated and forced to pull out of the phone and tablet market altogether

The odd component I can live with but I want to see Galaxy and Galaxy tab beaten into extinction to teach Samsung who is boss
Samsung not being able to sell it's galaxy tab in Germany hasn't done much, as it still gets to comsumers. You can walk into any vodafone shop in Germany and walk out with a Galaxy Tab 10.1. They must have a huge stockpile already here, or just no one cares

I am sure Arnie would be able to confirm to himself the lack of IP addresses on this account
I am just an enthusiastic Apple "fanboy", nothing more.
