After the last complaint of Apple in South Korea, Samsung retorts in the United States. The divorce seems indeed consumed and the Asian one would be about to be striped list of the suppliers of apple.
Not a day without the war between Samsung and Apple not rebounding. A few days ago, the apple threw oil on fire by attacking its competitor on its own grounds, in South Korea.
The reaction was not made await since Samsung decided to deposit one énième new complaint in the United States. It requires the prohibition of the imports of the wandering apparatuses of Apple in the United States.
The complaint of Samsung asks for “an order of permanent exclusion prohibiting the entry the United States of all the Apple products which violate these patents”, underlined the group in an official statement.
This complaint, submitted to the Commission international trade (ITC) American, stipulates that the iPhone, the iPod and the iPad enfreignent five of the patents of the Asian group. It follows upon another action at law, also for infringement with the patent rights, launched Wednesday near a federal court of Delaware.
Samsung private of the future A6 chip?
Let us recall that it is Apple which drew the first last April, showing of Samsung of plagiarism with its Galaxy products. A few weeks later, Samsung counter-attacked with a series of complaints concerning the violation of technological patents.
At the end of May, Samsung is obliged by justice to provide to Apple specimens of its smartphones and shelves so that the apple (makes its lawyers of them) can appraise them and judge so yes or not they violate some of its patents.
Samsung then requires the reciprocity of this measurement. The manufacturer thus poses a complaint in order to be able to also reach to him the future terminals of Apple: iPad 3 and iPhone 5 (or 4S). But the judge in load of this business estimates that this request “went too far”. For as much, it also débouté Apple which required the pure and simple prohibition of the marketing of the Samsung products accused of the United States.
While waiting, judge Lucy Koh, obviously wearied by this guéguerre according to Reuters would have pled for an agreement by amicable agreement between the two groups (traditional procedure in this type of files). Apple would have indicated besides that direct discussions are in hand. A declaration contradicted officially by Samsung.
Moreover, the divorce seems indeed consumed between the two groups in spite of the fact that they are above all the partners. Indeed, Samsung provides the memory flash used in the products iOS of Apple in MacBook Air, screens LCD, the RAM as well as the base of the processors A4 and A5 which one finds in the iPhone and the iPad.
According to several observers, the orders of Apple contribute to approximately 4% of the incomes of Samsung, that is to say between 5,7 and 7,8 billion dollars per annum, estimates Wall Street Journal (in progression of 37% over one year). What is far from being negligible.
Mais Apple pourrait aujourd'hui mettre un terme à certains de ces contrats. Selon Ars Technica et le journal chinois Commercial Times, la prochaine version du SOC pour iPhone et iPad, vraisemblablement nommée A6, devrait changer de manufacturier et être confié à Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC).
For certain observers, this choice would not be only the consequence of this war of the patents but rather of the capacity of TSCM to engrave in 28nm, against 45 currently for A5.
