Patent nonsense
Oh,the irony! After Apple tried to have the sale
of Samsung's Galaxy
Tab 10.1 tablet blocked in Europe, Samsung may in turn try to have
the release of Apple's iPhone 5 blocked there -- and possibly elsewhere
around the world. That's because the iPhone's expected to make use of "some
basic telecoms technology that Samsung has patented".According to The Korea Times,it'll almost certainly be banned in Korea for the same reason.
Last month's scheduled release of the Galaxy Tab was delayed in Australia because of Apple's patent claims, so there was little surprise when, on Monday, Samsung filed a counter-claim, accusing Apple of infringing seven of its Australian wireless patents in the iPhone and iPad.
Now do you see how software patents encourage innovation and the development of new products ...?

Did they think Samsung was going to waffle? This brings a smile to my face. Karma to it's fullest extent. Where's if Floreon Mueller now? The Apple patent expert will spin it like Samsung is in the wrong for this, and how the don't have a case. Karma Apple anyone..;p
