A decision to limited impact, yet
A US judge the San Jose district has decided that Samsung should, by thirty days, stop manufacturing, using, selling, developing and designing software or code that would result in the violation of three patents filed by Apple. This is the function of self-correction of the text, the slip system of a virtual button to unlock an apparatus and a data detecting technology.
It is a victory for Apple, but so far the impact on Samsung should be very small. Jung Dong Joon, a Korean lawyer specializing in patents, as stated in Bloomberg “It seems that the US court of justice has taken people from the party and managed to spare the two companies “. Are in fact concerned that old models of smartphones such as Galaxy SII, SIII or the first two Galaxy Note.
A dangerous precedent
However, in a statement to the press, the Korean giant has said, obviously, “very disappointed” reports Bloomberg . Samsung recognizes that “although it will have no impact on US consumers is another example of how Apple is abusing the legal system to create a bad legal precedent, which may be wrong choice users for future generations “.
