Lungul sir de infrangeri ale companiei Samsung in bataliile cu Apple continua astazi, un judecator american hotarand ca un brevet de inventie detinut de catre Apple pentru o tehnologie implementata in iOS a fost incalcat de catre Samsung. Mai exact, cei de la Samsung au utilizat fara drept functionalitati ale sistemului de autocorectare a cuvintelor disponibil in iOS, judecatorul luand inclusiv decizia de a invalida un brevet de inventie Samsung ce descrie o tehnologie pentru sincronizarea de continut multimedia.
The patent the judge determined was infringed so clearly that there was no need to have the jury evaluate Samsung’s denial of infringement is U.S. Patent No. 8,074,172 on a “method, system, and graphical user interface for providing word recommendations” (i.e., autocomplete, a feature that is rather important on devices that don’t have physical keyboards). Apple was at this stage asserting only claim 18, which the court found infringed.
Hotararea de astazi va avea efect intr-un proces care urmeaza sa inceapa pe data de 31 martie, el avand drept scop discutarea posibilelor incalcari ale unor tehnologii descrise in multiple brevete de inventie detinute de catre cele doua companii. Decizia de astazi nu este totusi problematica doar pentru Samsung, deoarece alti producatori de terminale Android ar folosi aceeasi tehnologie si daca in final procesul va condamna Samsung inclusiv pentru aceasta incalcare, atunci Apple s-ar putea indrepta si impotriva altor producatori de terminale Android.
