Patent soap opera between Applom and Samsungom has a new sequel. However, it is not always successful Applu and it also applies to today of honor. The US Patent Office announced today that one of the design patents iPhonewith whose help he wants Apple to sue your supplier for hundreds of millions of dollars is invalid. This is another patent related to the iPhone, which was canceled in the past years and played a key role in the legal dispute between Appquarry and Samsung. The patent itself, referred to in court as D'677, is one of several that was registered in 2007 in which the company protected the design of the first iPhone.
However, the problem is that even though Apple is using this patent in a lawsuit, the company has two other very similar patents protecting the design iPhone from 2007, but does not mention D'677 in them. It is because of this that the USPTO thinks that Apple not only is he not entitled to compensation for patent infringement, but he is also not entitled to own it. Moreover, the patent office has already rejected it once due to the fact that Apple in his patent, he compared himself to the competition, LG and Sharp, which he is not allowed to do.
