Latest in the case between Apple and Samsung where Apple are accusing Samsung for stealing ideas from iPad. A court in Australia has asked Apple for evidence of lower sales caused by the Galaxy 10.1 tablet. Apple might have to show iPad sales figures
Esato News

Apple vs Samsung 

Apple has been after Samsung the last couple of months. Several courts in Europe, U.S and Australia has forced Samsung to shot down the distribution of tablets and smartphones because the Samsung devices looks and behaves too similar to iPad and the iPhone. Apple claims that Samsung has copied ideas, design, packages and user interface from the i-products and that Samsung are violating Apple intellectual properties. The IFA electric trade show in Berlin last week was the latest incident where Samsung had to remove the brand new Galaxy Tab 7.7 inch tablet from the Samsung stand.

Today, a court in Australia has told Apple that they will have to prove to the court that the Galaxy 10.1 tablet has hurt the sale of iPad and iPad2 in markets where the Galaxy 10.1 already are for sale. U.S and UK are some of these markets. One way this could be proven is to give the court access to the sales figures for the two iPad tablets. If Apple fails to come up with falling sales figures or other relevant information proving that the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 tablet has been the reason for lower iPad sales, the Federal Court Justice Annabelle Bennett will not be able to draw any positive assumptions of Apples claims.

Samsung's lawyer told the judge that People want an Android product, so they will buy an Android product and that the Galaxy 10.1 not has hurt the sales of iPad and iPad 2. Samsung has agreed on delaying the introduction of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 to the Australian market until the end of September to let Apple get the chance to come up with a reply to the court order.

Does Apple not realise there is something called competition out there?? Do they not realise that from many many years ago companies have always copied ideas?? It's like the bloody playground with Apple. I give you an example. I make a Blue Ray playing with 3D built in then so other manufacturers do the same. So where is the right for all them to sue?? It is pathetic. It is like Apple sitting next to Samsung or HTC in the classroom at school and saying SIR SAMSUNG IS COPYING ME. i have lost respect for Apple totally now.

Apple are burning their own bridges, one day/year this will all come to bite them horribly in the backside.

The day ALL Android OEMs decide they have had enough they may all go at Apple at once it will get very ugly for them, Apple aren't all that powerful in terms of patents and they know it.

I like what you are saying, kinda like ganging up on a bully after he has terrorised most of the good guys. I can see it happening.

I wonder how in the world are they going to prove that the Samsung tab has adversely affected their own iPad. I like what the Australian court did here, instead of being bullied by the Apple lawyers it gave them a tricky assignment that is near impossible to prove.

It's not what you do or even how you do it but in what state of mind you do it: Dups! 2009

The whole thing with the patents for form factor is absurd... I don`t know how and why enyone will agree to patent form factor in any industry. After all - all TVs look like TV, all laptops look like ones.... isn`t it natural a tablet to look like one?! I don`t understand how any court of this planet will rule in favor of Apple, but I guess I`m wrong... so it`s not Apple fault, it`s the whole society absurd laws.

I'm keen for anyone to explain why Apple is at fault to protect that which has already been granted to them by the applicable process

I have no loyality/affiliation with Apple but I don't get these recent postings when all they are doing is trying to protect that which has already previously been granted to them? I'm sure if any of you came up with a design which you protect with a patent you would then expect the courts to deny any similar claim?

Apple can't, and are not, applying for protection against what has not already been granted to them, so anyone now complaining about patents owned by Apple are way past their opportunity for such complaints and to most now appear to be without forsight and just have sour grapes.

Surely any argument here is about the judicial process of granting IP etc rather than the claiment subsequently trying to protect their IP?
