Surly if Apple can patent a rectangle and round corners...
Well there ya go. HTC blows.![]()
The jury found Samsung guilty of willfully violating all three of the utility patents: No. 381, 915, and 667. Really, touchscreens wouldn't be touchscreens as we know and love them without the tech patented in these three. Patent 381 covers smartphone's ability to drag documents, rotate by twisting, and zoom in by pitching, court documents show. It also covers the bounce that happens when you scroll too far in a document. Patent 915 covers how we scroll through documents using one finger. And patent 163 covers the tap-to-zoom functionality found in Google Maps and other map apps.
There were also two design patents Samsung willfully violated (No. 667 and 305) and one unwillfully (No. 087), according to the verdict. Patents 667 and 087 cover the exterior of the iPhone. Somehow, Apple was able to patent and successfully defend a claim to phone that are rectangular with rounded edges and rounded backs. That's essentially the look of iPhones before the iPhone 4, as can be seen in the sketch from the patent below. The last patents the simple way icons are square-gridded out on an iPhone screen.
It is over 6 out of 7 things. One is Pinch to Zoom. Apple patents everything, so it's pretty easily to cross into suing territory building a smartphone, they just know decided to sue because Samsung is showing Apple how to build a phone. The Galaxy S3 is THEE top phone right now. No questions asked.
Apple-Samsung Lawsuit: What You Need To Know About The Verdict
HERE is your facts, now that I'm on a computer..
SO OOPS. Dezfan is right. Guess you need to do some more research Binary. 3 of the 6 were for LOOKING like Apple products.
I'm done with this thread, this post sums it up for me. I was on my phone earlier so I didn't feel like getting into a big pissing match but now it's time to end it.
I don't get why you think new updates make my droid obsolete, as well, I can update them and have from 2.2 to 4.1. Thanks for the useless "facts" though![]()
Funny you needed your computer Spenser...your phone couldn't handle it?:lmao::roll:
No, I just type A LOT faster on a keyboard (100wpm avg)I'm not a big texter/writer when it comes to phones. I call, or browse the net.
edit:
Anyways, have fun with your new iPhone 5s.
Anyone seen the new Apple IPod Nano? Sure looks similar to the new Nokia Lumia phones. :ror:
Guess it ok for Apple to "borrow" Nokia's design though. :roll:
I miss my IPhone 4. I have a droid2 now. I wasn't dishing out $169 (insurance) for a refurbished IPhone. I think apple needs to step their game up even more. That Galaxy S3 is off the chain...lemme know how you guys like the IPhone5
I want an s3 but my note @ 1.83ghz is pretty badass
DJ, didnt you phone get stolen?
I thiught thats what you posted up about a few weeks ago on FB?
Yup....why someone would steal a phone I have no idea.
