Hong Kong court allegedly sides with Apple in iPad name dispute
posted Feb 16th 2012 at 1:44AM posted Feb 16th 2012 at 1:24AMWe were waiting for the details of Apple’s new lawsuit in its global battle against Samsung, and now that the court has posted the complaint, we have them. These fresh allegations claim Sammy has… you guessed it, infringed upon Apple’s intellectual property. Turns out, there are eight patents at issue, with four of the patents in question having been granted since the last time Apple filed suit against the Korean firm. Among these are patents for missed call management, slide-to-unlock and data-syncing technology. Apple isn’t just targeting the Galaxy Nexus with this suit as previously thought, either. In fact, at least 17 devices are alleged to have infringed, including all the US Galaxy S II variants, both the Galaxy Player 4.0 and 5.0, the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and Galaxy Tab 8.9. So, should the Northern District of California decide to grant Apple’s request for a preliminary injunction, a hefty chunk of Samsung’s mobile products will be barred from store shelves here in the States. It’ll be a bit before we hear Sammy’s side of the story, but for now, you can see all of Apple’s latest legal arguments below.
