Resonse to Larry Cheong’s “Apple vs. Samsung”
November 16th, 2012
While I was reading Larry Cheong’s blog entry “Apple vs. Samsung” I could not help but to find myself dumb founded by the fact that Apple would sue Samsung over such trivial matters, such as the rounded-edged rectangular shape of the iPhone. I find that both phones have very strong points of difference that it was uneccesary of Apply to force a law suit upon Samsung. And the fact that Apple won, means that consumers now have less phones to chose from (in the words of Larry Cheong). Let’s be honest, how many ways can you change the shape of a phone? And how many phones have exsisted in the rectangular shape before iPhones? I’m sure we all have an answer here. And it simply shows how ridiculous the lawsuit made on Samsung was. But then again, I guess it also shows how powerful one brand’s monopolizing power can be once it has established a patent.
