Samsung expected to sue Apple over iPhone 5

[DeSmOnD dAvId]

Looks like the action is far from over. The Samsung war machine is gearing for a counter attack against Apple over the use of 4G LTE technology in iPhone 5.

According to this article :

The courtroom battle between Apple and Samsung seems to be far from over, and come tomorrow Apple is in for a major headache as soon as it makes the iPhone 5 official. That’s because Samsung is poised to sue the company over patents it owns relating to the LTE connectivity the new smartphone is expected to use.

All Samsung needs to confirm is that the iPhone 5 is shipping with 4G LTE and it can then apparently set its lawyers into action. As is typical with these patent lawsuits, Samsung will most likely seek an import ban meaning the iPhone 5 may not be able to leave its manufacturing plants and make it to the US to fulfill pre-orders. If such a thing ruling was made, Apple would most likely do a deal that meant it no longer pursued Samsung product bans, and might even forget about that billion dollar payout.

There have been no updates about Samsung's move so far.

The article further states :

Facing Samsung in court again may not phase Apple even though the shoe will firmly be on the other foot this time. However, there’s two other companies set to try and block sales of the new iPhone. The first is the company behind the GooPhone i5, which successfully managed to patent the design of its phone in China that just happens to look like the leaked shots we have seen of the iPhone 5. If the two phones do indeed look the same, expect a lawsuit.

David vs Goliath scenario here.

Plus :

Apple may easily get that case thrown out on a prior art claim, but then there’s HTC to deal with. Apple is attempting to get two HTC patents relating to data transmission invalidated, but the comments of a US trade judge recently make that seem unlikely. If Apple doesn’t succeed, then it either has to settle with HTC or face both an iPad and iPhone 5 ban.

The iPhone 5 launch event is happening tomorrow, that is for certain. Whether Apple will have any iPhone 5 stock available to fulfill preorders in a few weeks is becoming increasingly uncertain.

No updates from either companies so far.

I think their main objective would not be money but to block the sales of iPhones 5 in their home turf i.e., US of A

This is the perfect time to show Appplle the NADIR point through it's downward path.
The profound "ego" + "Vanity" + "arrogance" of appplle was notwithstanding....intolerable...nauseating

Have you guys read that Samsung is yet to make a move? Its a possibility that it will, but nothing's carved in stone.

But, I think getting 3-way is on the menu for Apple.

Off topic : Though I am not interested much, but is Gangnam style phenomenon bigger than Kolaveri?

I hate samsung bt love android..

Let sammy sue apple then google should sue sammy
for making Gs series phones better than Nexus phones

[RCuber]

^^I do agree that Samsung mobile design is becoming a little boring (at least the lowend/midrange phones) , but its still a great product company. I don't think I will be wrong if I say Samsung is one of the reason for Androids rise.

[Rishi.]

^no doubt that if it was not for samsung , Droid wouldn't have been that popular so easily. I think After Sammy's recent tragedy due to apple , we can expect some new design on the block. { Just a Hope though. :}

But this Patent {come sue me} thing is really pissing the world of technology in one way.

Gs series phone better than Nexus phones, what? Are you just telling by reading hardware specs?
Practically Nexus phones are the best android phones, pure google phone which makes the android experience faster like iOS much better than highly customize UI like Timescape, Touchwiz, Sense etc. They are just not meant for gaming or doing high end processing work. I'm telling you because I took demo of jelly bean of galaxy nexus and it was great as I personally use iOS 5 on iPhone 4.

WHY APPLE WHY??

Looks more like Nokia 920.
