Tonight, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) decided to ban the sale of several of the company's older products Apple on US territory. Indeed, according to the ITC Apple infringed the patent of competitor Samsung, which it used in the manufacture of these products. Specifically, this is a patent that allowed 3G wireless technology to transmit calls and data simultaneously. During a phone call, you can, for example, receive e-mails or surf the Internet. What seems obvious at first glance is, however, a closely guarded Samsung patent which, according to the ITC Apple misused.
The sales ban will specifically apply to models iPhone 4, iPhone 3Gs, the first generation iPad with 3G module and the second generation iPad with 2G module. The only one of these products that is still sold as a new model is iPhone 4, the others are now only available through the so-called refurbished program. Moreover, these are only models that are made for the AT&T operator. Apple However, he did not have to withdraw the offer yet, as US President Barack Obama must confirm the ITC decision within 60 days of the ITC decision. However, Obama also has the option to veto the decision and thus cancel it, and notchat The Commission decided on this case only as a higher institution.ance, to which Samsung appealed after last year's decision by Judge James Gildey, who recognized that Apple did not infringe patents.
"We are disappointed that the commission reversed its earlier decision and plan to appeal. Today's decision does not affect product availability Apple In the United States," the spokeswoman said Apple Kristin Huguet. If you're thinking that of course Obama won't sign the sales ban Apple products, we must realize that on the one hand, in the case of Applu is the largest taxpayer in the US. On the other hand, Obama faces enormous international pressure and his decision could disrupt international relations because Samsung is for South Korea what Apple for the US.
Perhaps the funniest of the whole situation, however, is Samsung's statement, which a company spokesperson published in an official report on the case: "The ITC decision confirmed the tradition App"We will not be able to parasitize on the technological innovations of the South Korean company. Our decades of research and development in mobile technology will continue, and we will continue to offer innovative products to consumers in the United States," stated the innovative Samsung, whose products are not even remotely similar Apple. When a company from South Korea lost a dispute in which it was forced to pay more than a billion dollars as compensation for Apple, demanded the American giant Apple also a ban on the sale of products Samsung on the territory of the USA, but then Apple failed.
Personally, I think that Obama would like to somehow "upset" apple when it is the largest tax payer in the US. Although it's practically nothing anymore when they had to be for at&t
Well, no one is without fault, ban on selling older products AppIt won't hurt anything...
Otherwise he could Apple do Safari na iOs add voice search as it already has Chrome pre iOS.
For the wolf to eat and the goat to remain whole, Apple should himself urge Obama to confirm the decision. Before it takes effect, it will probably be withdrawn from sale as well iPhone 4. The only question that remains is the possibility of recovering compensation, which could be activated by Obama's confirmation. But perhaps that is not even possible.

Of course, it's all an incredible farce from Samsung's mouth :-) Apple should be much more forceful against Samsung in all its disputes. Very forceful and very emphatic. It does well when all production and product ties are canceled by Samsung.

And piss off South Korea? Why not :-) Who would probably lose more? Certainly not the US. Unpacking Samsungs and Hyundais from the USA would be a satisfaction for the entire American nation :-) They have already bled enough for those slant-eyed and ungrateful guys.

I personally unpacked everything that is even close to Koreans from my household a long time ago.
………. samsung
iphone I had 4 and it is still my favorite of all the products applu, i also had an ipad 2 and it was great, samsung is getting dangerous
the sales ban is already too harsh, why not a license??
so if the decision becomes valid in 2 months and if it continues to drag on, I will still go maybe 3 months maybe 4 until it is valid and until then apple will not sell iphone 4, I rather regret it with the ipad 2, if it were apple he took out the ipad 2, so it will be a problem, because it would be left alone mini and an ipad 4, and those who don't want a new ipad but older ones with a large display could go...
palihora: Apple has voice search in Safari for a long time.
This is a hardware patent that has been in development for a long time, that had to go through a lot of approval processes, transmitters and receivers had to be adapted to it... it's a completely different thing than a similar app icon...
Majdy> did I miss something? I guess I didn't express myself precisely, of course I meant voice search in Czech or Slovak.
Amnart: Samsung is becoming dangerous.
boy are you okay?! think about what you're going to say first.
Thomas:
The principle is still the same. Moreover, the Samsung patent in question falls into the FRAND category, which is a technological standard that is mandatorily accessible to everyone. Samsung itself is facing a lawsuit from Ericsson, for example, for a whole bunch of FRAND patents that are part of RF, GSM, GPRS, EDGE, W-CDMA, LTE, and 802.11 Wi-Fi and so on.
check:
so stop selling?? that's a bit much no when he asked for it apple pri galaxy s2 it didn't go through and when they ask for samsung pri iphone 4 will it pass??
it's just somehow strange that things are approved
scold your peers, not me
Are these really patents that poor Samsung "invented" himself and had them patented? Or bought them in some package...
Motorola, for example, which today belongs to Google, is also trying to implement the "Samsung" method in Europe. They are trying to stop the sale of iPhones in Europe, even though they are FRAND patents in the field of GPRS, Motorola promised free access to these patents during standardization and Apple itself offers FRAND fees for them. But Motorola is acting "stupid" and demanding a halt to sales. Fortunately, although it is unusual in the EU, in this case the relevant EU commission is clearly on the side Apple. And those are two American companies in the "cross" :-) So is there anything to blame? AppThe argument with Samsung is more of a nonsense.
I'm curious when some uncle reports that he has a patent for a round steering wheel in a car and an engine in the front. Hmm, one more year and we will all be carrying 2 phones – one for calling, viewing photos, etc. and the other for emails, the web, etc. One will be round and the other square.
Rebelldan: that's hard, such a patent would have lapsed a long time ago
Amnart: scold your peers, not me
for 1. that's not a swear word
for 2. judging by the photo you have here and on the sector, and not to mention the fact that you sit here all day so that he can vent your embarrassing comments, I'm guessing you're about 14.
