Samsung, HTC Attempt iPhone 5 Ban Using LTE Patents

[Guest]

Finally Apple might get a taste of it's own medicine. That said I'm still fed up with the whole patent war and even more tired of Apple's gestapo tactics in the courtroom. Hopefully both Samsung and HTC will be victorious against Apple and all companies will start focusing more of their money on R&D and innovation rather than paying for these ridiculous legal services.

The problem with you idiots having your happiness dependant upon a company (like Apple) failing is you're stuck on a roller-coaster. Unfortunately, for every news story that gives you a lift there are bound to be two more than piss you off. The net result is you keep descending further.

Case in point. Just one day after this news story came out about HTC it was revealed that the actual inventor of the LTE patents HTC is suing Apple with has claimed in court that he doesn't know enough about the patents to even determine if they are valid. Imagine that, the inventor of something doesn't even know if it's a valid invention. So say this is bad news for HTC is an understatement.

Oh, and also in the news late last week is Samsung lost in their case before the ITC against Apple. Apple was found to not be inviolation of four patents Samsung brought against them.

Hold on, here's another one. Apple won a preliminary injunction against Motorola Mobility in Germanyover their "rubber banding" patent. This now makes three different countries and courts that have found this patent valid.

How many more times does Motorola, Samsung, HTC and others have to lose before you people take off your blinders and realize that maybe there's been some copying and infringement going on? Are you going to whine about conspiracies and bribing of judges? Is this how you live in the real world? When something doesn't go your way you come up with bizarre reasons why things happened so you can continue to deny reality?

Another reason the US Patent Office needs some fixing.

As long as they don't ban it in the USA who cares? Yeahs, they can ban it all over the rest of the world if the floats someone's boat. ...but us American iSheep, the majority of us don't hate Apple so we kinda like this evolutionary upgrade that is the iP5.

I hope Apple loses. Hard.

In USA the court system is rigged in favor of Apple. Not likely iCrap will lose if case is heard in a USA court.

Well, I, along with the majority of other Americans are glad for this. ...okay, that is trolling, my apologies. I don't think the courts are necessarily rigged towards Apple but they may favor an American company more than a foreign one. Not fair...but what in life is?

[citation][nom]bustapr[/nom]I doubt anyone is surprised about this. Im all for the fall of apple, but I really do hate patent wars. just how many frikin patents are involved with LTE tech?![/citation]

Since the patent offices stopped caring if ideas were novel or new. Now they just patent different techs based on specification. It's totally rediculous.

Apple has become the exact anti-thesis to that which it purported to be...
