During the trial, was not yet official, but it seems that Apple has filed a complaint with the Tokyo District Court attempted to suspend the sale of Samsung devices filed for alleged patent violations in the Korean society. The study is similar to a structure as in other countries that have not yet filed pending investigation. In addition to a complete ban, Apple is also seeking 100 million JPY (1.3 million) in damages.
Apple has had to suspend some success with the sale of Samsung devices in several countries, while some restrictions have been put into effect before thorough investigations were made. In Australia, for example, Apple has done it, the availability of the Galaxy tab delay 7.7, shortly before the court has asked Apple to reveal actual sales figures for the iPad 2 as they determine whether Samsung is really damage to Apple sale. Banned in the European Union, sales of smartphones Galaxy more fully in 30 Member States, and 7.7 a Galaxy Tab was abruptly removed from the possible display at German IFA conference in fear of an injunction. There was also in the U.S. and Korea prosecuted, although havent had the same impact on the Samsung, the ability to do business.
While Apple may have some merit study how the Galaxy devices, especially the Galaxy Tab, very similar to each other as hardware and software, the application might be a good route to $ 1.3 million in damages and interest. Actually succeeded Apple last quarter, a record number of iPads, iPhones and iPod touch for sale, holds about half the market share is compressed, while Samsung has taken less than 10%.
Its hard to know where these lawsuits never go to end widespread, since some of them a real impact on Samsung, ability to do business in this area, in contrast to other important processes, which usually only end in settlements appear to have been expensive. We can say with certainty, however, that Apple should really great lawyers.
