Once the jury in Apple v. Samsung passed down its verdict on Friday, we viewed Apple have a victory lap and heard Samsung warn of hampered competition, only one company continued to be plainly quiet: Google. A few days ago, though, Mountain View finally launched an argument, insisting that although Samsung lost the trial, the ruling does not really implicate Android. "A legal court of appeals will review both violation and also the validity from the patent claims. Many of these don't connect with the core Android operating-system," the organization stated, observing that a number of these patents are now being revisited through the US Patent Office. Still, hidden for the reason that statement is definitely an implicit acknowledgment when Samsung can't reverse the conclusion on appeal, innovation among Android products could be be stifled:
"The mobile market is moving fast and all sorts of gamers - including beginners - are building upon ideas that have been in existence for many years. We use our partners to provide customers innovative and affordable items, and that we do not want almost anything to limit that."
Obviously, Samsung has indeed stated it expects to appeal (as well as an internal memo reported by CNET corroborates this), therefore it would appear the proxy fight against Android is not even close to over, and also the drone of legalese will certainly continue.
