Apple Launches New Legal Attack On Samsung

Posted by samzenpus on from the history-repeating dept.

walterbyrd writes "Apple Inc has asked a federal court in California to block Samsung Electronics Co Ltd from selling its new Galaxy Nexus smartphones, alleging patent violations. In a suit filed last week in San Jose, Apple said the Galaxy Nexus infringes on patents underlying features customers expect from its products. Those include the ability to unlock phones by sliding an image and to search for information by voice."

    That has been going on since the advent of language. Walk into a crowded room... "HAS ANYONE SEEN MY KEYS?!?"

    Nothing new... :)

    Wait till Apple finds out that Samsung phones "allow people to communicate via text and voice"

    ... Perhaps we should make a "place genitals here" unlock mechanism. At least that may not be patented yet.

    Yeah, Lotsa prior art there. I could send you some.

    I believe that patent is held by Professor Scott from Edinburgh.
