EOC 5 Apple vs. Samsung



EOC 5 apple and Samsung
Today's verdict should not be viewed as a win for Apple, but as a loss for the American consumer," Samsung said. (letzing, 2012).  This was a case of infringement because apple came out with the smart phone first and Samsung which is an android product basically waits for apple to put out there product and then Samsung steals the ideas and markets it.  "It is time for peace," (letzing, 2012).  That statement was made because now that the smart phones have been around a while, android who came with their smart phone after apple has since then been competitive and apple has used android apps in their apple store for consumers.  Apple claims that graphics and everything have been stolen. “ Few surprises came out during the case itself. Most of the key evidence—including Samsung internal strategy documents and designs of other devices that Samsung says proves Apple didn't develop the ideas first” (letzing, 2012).  So as you heard from the developer themselves they did come up with their own ideas in technology, but apple did win the initial case for their smart phone technology.  I really think that it should be free game now when it comes to technology, but shouldn’t Samsung be able to sue as well for original ideas that are used in the itunes store?  Most likely, but will they?
