With Apple emerging victorious in the latest Apple Vs Samsung Saga where it not only claimed its monopoly in the OZ market but also pulled the curtain over Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1's chances to hit the OZ shelves.Inside reports claim that,Apple's founder & ex-CEO the late Steven P.Jobs own Patent was the one which delivered the knockout punch to Samsung.This means that Google & its associated Android base partners will have to significantly alter the schematics of their SmartPhones which would not only affect the physical features of the phone rendering it unappealing it also but will also affect the rich user experience offered by the SmartPhone devices.
The two patents using which Apple pulled this off are No. 2005246219 which stands for Multipoint touchscreen & No. 2009233675, “Touch screen device, method, and graphical user interface for determining commands by applying heuristics.”The latter is actually a modification of the U.S patent No.7479949 which is credited to the late Steve Jobs of Apple Inc.Apple has been literally at war with almost all of the Mobile manufacturers in the last year which clearly explains Apple's intentions to monopolize the Mobile SmartPhone market industry.
Although these 2 patents were apparently enough to convince the Australian court to rule the verdict in favor of Apple,it doesn;t mean that Apple has won the case.This is just the tip of the Iceberg & now Samsung is all ready to file an injunction next month,but unfortunately by the time the case hits the court,Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1 would have expired in the Holiday season.With the Patent Wars going from bad to Worse things are about to get ugly with both Apple & Samsung waiting to draw first Blood.Round one goes to Apple though.
