Samsung Withdraws Counter-Suit Against Apple
tekgoblin writes "Samsung has withdrawn a counter-suit against Apple in their ongoing legal battle which concerns similarities in the iOS device lineup against the Galaxy S lineup from Samsung. The counter-suit concerned the design of the user interface being very similar to that of Samsung's: 'related to fundamental innovations that increase mobile device reliability, efficiency, and quality, and improve user interface in mobile handsets and other products.'"
The issue is not whether Apple or Samsung are right - it's that this shit is patentable in the first place.
they've consolidated them to focus on their defence in this suit.
