Apple sues Samsung for ‘copying’ the iPhone

in 07:51 GMT , By الصحة الاول

Apple has just fired the starting gun on what could be one of the tech world’s biggest ever lawsuits. The Cupertino company has accused Samsung of “copying” the iPhone and iPad, naming a string of Sammy devices in papers filed in California last week.
Apple says the Samsung Galaxy S 4G, Epic 4G, Google Nexus S and Galaxy Tab are all derived from either the iPhone 3G or iPad. And Jobs and co haven’t held back in saying just what they think of the Korean giant.....

"Rather than innovate and develop its own technology and a unique Samsung style for its smart phone products and computer tablets, Samsung chose to copy Apple's technology, user interface and innovative style in these infringing products."

It doesn’t get much clearer than that in the world of legal tussles, but just in case, Apple has added some pics to the lawsuit showing the devices in question side by side. Apple is asking for damages and even wants a ruling to say that Samsung was wilful in its attempts to copy Apple’s best-selling kit.
