The fact that Apple sued Samsung is very controversial. People often question whether Apple had a motive for suing Samsung or if the company genuinely thought Samsung had copied features from their product.<\/p>\n
Samsung was found guilty for infringing five Apple patents on August 24th<\/sup>, 2012 and has to pay more than $ 1 billion in damages. Why did Apple pursue the legal matter before the release of the iPhone 5? People are questioning if Apple\u2019s motive behind suing was to make consumers want their product over Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S 3. This could be the case as Samsung is Apple\u2019s biggest competitor, and their court victory was announced shortly after the release of the Galazy S 3.<\/p>\n Although Samsung is considered the number one smartphone, their sales\u00a0will have a slight decrease in the world not because of the legal matters but as a result of the\u00a0new iPhone 5. Samsung\u2019s products are still in demand, and I believe will continue to be despite the US legal set back.\u00a0\u00a0Samsung was only found\u00a0guilty in the US,\u00a0specifically California, which is Apples\u00a0home territory. Was this decision bias? I think so, as there have been several other cases around the world regarding this issue, and have been dismissed.<\/p>\n Samsung will continue to develop their products and build on their past success with newer products that will “wow” customers and of course meet their needs. Thus, Samsung\u2019s sales will continue to increase throughout the years.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n http:\/\/www.guardian.co.uk\/commentisfree\/2012\/aug\/28\/apple-rot-starts-with-samsung-lawsuit-win<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.itwire.com\/2012-06-01-13-40-03\/browse\/c-level\/56376-so-what-did-samsung-copy<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The fact that Apple sued Samsung is very controversial.
