Apple to Samsung: Stop stealing ideas
Apple says it's sick and tired of Samsung ripping off the iPad and iPhone, and the Cupertino, California, company is filing papers.
In a lawsuit filed Friday, Apple accused Samsung of committing patent and trademark infringement with its Galaxy line of mobile products. That includes the Galaxy S smartphone and the Galaxy Tab tablet.
"It's no coincidence that Samsung's latest products look a lot like the iPhone and iPad, from the shape of the hardware to the user interface and even the packaging," an Apple representative said in a statement provided to All Things Digital. "This kind of blatant copying is wrong, and we need to protect Apple's intellectual property when companies steal our ideas."

You cant put a patent on a style of phone... Apple make good products (albeit over-priced) but they're far too heavy on suing the competition.
Competition drives progress, if there were no competitors to the iPhone or iPad, then there wouldn't be the rapid developments in technology that we are seeing today with all these huge companies bringing out phones and tablets.

Most people would say that the Samsung GS looks a lot like the iPhone 3 in more than a few ways.
Not sure about them claimng to have introduced 'grid presentation of the App icons' though.

Yes it is but looking at the two phones it does not look EXACTLY like it. It's hardly an exact copy of the 3GS. And loads of manufacturers steal ideas from each other. Bloody Apple 
Phone?? What phone?? |

And who next?? Motorola for making their own tablet?? What planet are Apple on?? It seems to me that Apple want to get rid of their rivals and take over the world. Android is doing far better than IOS now and they simply don't like it. How far does it go?? You sue a company for making a product in direct competition?? Give me a break. Only in America eh?? Like the idiots who tries to sue McDonalds for their obesity. Seriously you have a choice if you eat it or not. Am I right?? Apple I will be shocked if they win. I am just imagine in the court room with the judge comparing the Galaxy S v Iphone. Most touch screen phones look the same.

Ooh, those poor lawyers who stand to make millions, win or lose. I feel for them.
Samsung should just cut their supplies to Apple. No iPhone 5 then eh?

There will probably be some kind of settlement of this whole things as Samsung has pledged to sue Apple as well. Both are huge companies with little or no time waste on such trivial matters as law suits.
