Apple ad takes a stab at competitors, encourages things worth copying

Posted on by Jaime Rivera

Today is Earth day, and as a result, many companies take it upon themselves to make their environmental efforts public. We’ve seen Apple do some significant leaps in making its facilities greener over the years, and the same can be said about its planned “spaceship campus 2″. What we never expected was for Apple to actually use this opportunity to take a stab at its most famous competitor, Samsung. Cupertino’s new ad, which can be found in many news papers around the claims that “There are some ideas it would want every company to copy”. The text within ...

Samsung America’s former CEO Dale Sohn took the stand, and in an internal presentation he shared with his team, it was revealed that defeating Apple was the ...

Apple’s research into making the iPhone “for normal people” took years

Posted on by Jaime Rivera

Testimonies continue in the Apple vs. Samsung trial, and this time we have the leading software engineer in charge of basic features like “slide to unlock,” Greg Christie on the bench. Today we find this feature in absolutely every smartphone that you can buy, but before the iPhone, all you had was a power-standby key. Christie spent a good deal of time explaining to the Jury how long it took the company to figure out a smart way to reach consumers with the iPhone, and the details are quite revealing. According to Christie’s testimony, things like slide-to-unlock were ...

Samsung lands important win against Apple in Trial

Posted on by Jaime Rivera

As the Apple vs. Samsung trial continues, you’d think that Apple is the only one winning in a trial that it started, but reality poses differently. Obviously it’s up to the judge to admit evidence against either party, or to allow certain patent claims to be submitted as admissible. Today’s progress in the trial shows that Apple isn’t the only company with some cards under its sleeve. Today ...

Apple’s sales team is worried of the iPhone stalling growth due to Android

Posted on by Jaime Rivera

As the Apple vs. Samsung trial continues, one of the coolest things is that the defense (Samsung) has access to Apple’s internal documentation, which is doing a great job at showing just how vulnerable the company is. We’ve seen allegations coming and going over how Apple feels at a loss in its ability to show customers its innovation when diluted by Samsung’s competition. Obviously Samsung is just one of Apple’s threats, and some new information today expresses Apple’s deeper concerns regarding Android as a whole. According to an internal document that came ...

Apple’s Phil Schiller uses last year’s testimony in today’s trial vs. Samsung

Posted on by Jaime Rivera

If you haven’t been following the developments, today is Apple vs. Samsung, day 2. Apple’s first witness for today is non-other than Apple’s SVP of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller. His participation in Apple trials has become quite common, and more specifically, in the previous trials between Apple and Samsung. Today Schiller takes the stage one more time, but oddly didn’t surprise anyone with his statement. As it turns out, Schiller simply decided to play it safe and re-hash the same statement he’s used in two previous trial testimonies about the reasons ...

Samsung uses an internal Steve Jobs email to state its case against Apple

Posted on by Jaime Rivera

As the trial of Apple vs. Samsung continues today, we’ve already heard Apple’s arguments as to why Samsung has benefited from the whole development process of building phones through Apple’s experience with the iPhone. Obviously the next step was for Samsung to defend itself, and you’d think that Samsung would counter Apple’s arguments during its opening statement, but the company insists that it’s just a victim. As it turns out, Samsung’s attorney ...

Latest Apple vs. Samsung trial begins, Cupertino launches the first jab

Posted on by Jaime Rivera

The Apple vs. Samsung trial has officially begun, and if you were tired of all the drama in the previous one, this one is actually interesting and unique on its own.

Today the trial has begun with Apple’s opening statement, where the company specifically asks for over $2 Billion in damages over Samsung’s infringement in five different patents. By contrast, ...

Apple fails to convince court of need for Samsung ban

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

Following the ongoing legal slap-fight between Samsung and Apple is like reading a very slow-to-publish serial, giving us one brief new chapter every few months. Last we checked in on the issue was back in December, where after Apple had just been awarded another few hundred million in damages, it was looking to get some import bans put in effect against a number of Samsung products. It’s taken until ...

DoJ investigation of Samsung efforts to ban Apple imports concludes

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

We were only just thinking about how nice it is that Nokia and HTC have settled their differences and come to an understanding, entering into a patent collaboration agreement, when another story crosses our desk that reminds us just how far conflicts like this can go when the companies in question aren’t able to work things out. Remember last summer when Samsung looked like it might very nearly be able to effect an import ban on certain Apple iOS ...

Apple asks court for Samsung sales ban

Posted on by Stephen Schenck

Sure as the sun will rise in the east, and water shall remain wet, Apple and Samsung will always be at each other’s throats, duking it out in a court of law. Most recently, we saw Samsung stuck with the bill for another $290M in damages, but today we’re not talking about money at all: Apple’s out for blood – or more specifically, for getting 20-some Samsung devices banned from sales. Apple had already pushed for a move like this last ...
