Apple vs Samsung, the endless war of patent


The settlement of patent war between Apple and Samsung was collapse again, although  Apple CEO Tim Cook,  iPhone 4 cases and Samsung Vice Chairman Choi Gee-sung personally participate in the negotiations. In the past year,  Apple and Samsung launched patent wars in many countries around the world to accuse each other of violations of the patent. How long will the patent war last? That is our question.

Apple CEO Tim Cook and Samsung president Choi Gee-sung set a meeting to discuss the patent issue. Unfortunately, the negotiations did not go well, due to both companies do not agree with patent value of each side. This means it is impossible for both companies to come to an agreement before the hearing.

Samsung's patent of "standards essential",  iPhone 4s cases is an important part of the proceedings, but Apple said it is not necessary to persist these patents till end. Because the uncertainty of apple industry, the value of standards essential patents should be lowered. However, Samsung believes that the company's patent portfolio will be more powerful than Apple in 4G and mobile technology of next-generation.


The dispute of patent between Apple and Samsung,  Samsung galaxy s3 cases now can not be called a "patent war", but can be renamed as "soap opera", due to its features: time shuffling, lengthy plot. We hope these two companies cease fire very soon, but the protagonists are still "play" exhilaration. Perhaps some of the patent dispute will eventually be resolved, but not now. Because the information on the patent dispute will continue blowing everyday.
