Patent 12/363,325(Notification of mobile device event) is not yet approved.
Most people support Samsung because either they don't like US patent system or they mistakenly think Samsung = Android. Most tech blogs share little sympathy to Samsung as it is pretty obvious that Samsung deliberately copied Apple in the early days. I dont want to get into the political fight as some people here are more biased than even those commenters on theverge. People should look at this more positively. Samsung's Galaxy S3 and Note are a good example that Samsung's senior management team should trust their engineers' ability to design great devices. By the way, if you are interested there is a good article on theVerge about Apple's pinch and zoom patent and how Google walk around it http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/30/3279628/apple-pinch-to-zoom-patent-myth On Mon, Sep 3, 2012 at 1:19 PM, phil swenson <[email protected]> wrote: > First, let me say I think software patents should be abolished or at the > very least the patent terms should be much shorter given the fast moving > nature of the software business. > > Dick mentioned that Apple copied Xerox Parc and seemed to indicate it was > the same thing as Samsung copying Apple.
