Samsung Thinking To Ban Sales Of Apple’s iPhone 4S, iPhone 4 And iPad 2 In Japan And Australia

Today, according to a recent report, Samsung wants to ban sales of Apple iPhone 4S in Japan and Australia. The company is also seeking a ban on the sale of four iPhone and iPad 2 in Japan.

The news comes from The Wall Street Journal - an international English-language newspaper in a report that discuss Samsung "shoot back" of Apple, trying to stop the sale of its recently released iPhone 4S smartphones in Japan and Australia.

The preliminary injunction will be introduced in Japan, Samsung unveiled copyright infringement in connection with technology in general, the user interface patents, while in Australia, relating to standards for wireless telecommunications.

From Wall Street Journal:

The Korean company said it filed on Monday for preliminary injunctions in the Tokyo District Court and in the New South Wales Registry, Australia, to stop the sale of iPhone 4S smartphones in both countries. Samsung also asked the Japanese court to stop the sale of Apple’s iPhone 4 and iPad 2 devices.

Just four days ago, we heard from Apple successfully blocked the sales of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia because of two touchscreen and multi-touch technology based on patents, the Galaxy Table 10.1 seem evil. Apple has also managed to halt sales of the same product in Germany. Finally, we must not forget that the Galaxy II has been banned from sale in over 30 European countries.

This war of patents (as it is called) can only get worse before it gets better. The dispute is over the continents with the procedures found in countries like USA, Japan, Netherlands, Australia, France and Italy to spread a few.

WSJ expects that the patent claims with a massive cross-licensing, in which both companies at the end of the payment would be mutually exclusive for the use of the patented technology from the other end. We hope that ends well, because apparently at this time, suggesting that we are soon locked at the end of a world in which all the products from Samsung and Apple sales.

Samsung actually manufactures Flash memory, RAM and processor used in the IOS devices. So it does, it sounds very strange for Apple to go so aggressively after a company that produces some very important components of its most popular products.
