More Patent Fights Between Apple and Samsung Ahead
Samsung is reportedly preparing more patent infringement claims against Apple.
The company said that it is likely to sue Apple over technologies used in the iPhone 5. In court filings, Samsung revealed that it will extend existing complaints and allegations of eight separate patent infringements to Apple's latest phone. The trial is not expected to start until March 2014.
In an article posted by the BBC, Samsung was quoted saying, "We have always preferred to compete in the marketplace with our innovative products, rather than in courtrooms. However, Apple continues to take aggressive legal measures that will limit market competition. Under these circumstances, we have little choice but to take the steps necessary to protect our innovations and intellectual property rights."
There is also more news that Apple's iMessage violates up to six Google patents, which Google acquired via the purchase of Motorola. An investigation by the US International Trade Commission is currently underway.
They are becoming the most hated company ever.
If they continue like this, even the isheep people will abandon them.

A friend of mine damaged his Mac laptop's screen, and asked me if it was repairable. Typically, yes, but not for Apple's stuff...
Lawsuits typically require hundreds or thousands of emails and sheets of papers before the fun even begins.
It's paper warfare.
"iSheeps" will abandon Apple when Apple decides that they should remove all compatibilities with third-party apps and other things that makes an iPhone what it is. Bad business ethics as most people call it mean more for investors whether good or bad, and it shouldn't affect users of the products.
my iphone4 is even more lamer than before
Right now you are copying others. you can be better then that! Start doing design in the US (In California)
hopefully designers here won't copy ideas and claim they are original like the Korean designers are doing.
Possibly because samsung up until last month made half of apples stuff, including displays, memory, and most likely keyboards?
Samsung is a Korean company and unless you've never compared Samsung's phones to iPhones, you'd know that they don't actually look that similar (although I would like it if Samsung did try to be more unique). Basically, you insulted them by accusing of something that isn't going on and you've also insulted them by discriminating against their own people.
Also, like adgjlsfhk said, Samsung is the company that invented, designed, and manufactured many (perhaps most) components in a huge amount of phones and other products and the majority of iPhones are no exception.
