amenditman Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Apple has gotten an injuction against Samsung importing the Galaxy Tab into the EU. The way the news has been reported, it sounded like it was based upon some sort of patent/copyright/intellectual property assertion.Well, one investigator went ahead and found out how the process works. Entire story here. http://www.osnews.com/story/25056/The_Comm...e_USPTO_Was_BadThe gist of it is that they did not have to prove anything and the original filing for 'Community Design' protection was never reviewed.

securitybreach Posted August 12, 2011 Posted August 12, 2011 Ughh, more Patent Trolling.....The worst part is Apple is Samsung's biggest client and they provide the screen, NandFlash, and others components on the Ipad. Quote
amenditman Posted August 15, 2011 Author Posted August 15, 2011 What a complicated, self-induced mess this is. Quote
