Serves Apple Right

Is The Next iPhone Already In Patent Trouble?

At the upcoming Apple event on September 12, the company is expected to release a new iPhone compatible with 4G LTE connectivity around the world. Yet, competitors such as Samsung and HTC are already warning Apple that if it releases a new iPhone with LTE connectivity, they will sue the company for patent infringements and will demand a sales ban in the U.S..... Samsung, on the other hand, is continuing its global legal battle against Apple. “It’s true that Samsung Electronics has decided to take immediate legal action against the Cupertino-based Apple. Countries in Europe and even the United States — Apple’s home-turf — are our primary targets,” said a senior Samsung employee to The Korea Times.

A fight that needed to take place in the marketplace Apple took to court. And now that move is coming back to bite Apple. Pun intended.
