Woah! On earth of massive-time lawsuits, this ought to be essentially the most important. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Apple has sued Samsung Electronics for copying “the feel and appear” of its iPad tablet and iPhone smartphone. This pertains to the Samsung Galaxy S 4G , which bears greater than a passing resemblance to the iPhone 3G / 3GS models, and the marginally less obvious Epic 4G, Nexus S, and Galaxy Tab (presumably the older 7-inch model, for the reason that newer ones aren’t out yet) devices. The claim for intellectual property infringement is phrased as follows:
“Instead of innovate and develop its own technology and a special Samsung style for its smart phone products and computer tablets, Samsung chose to repeat Apple’s technology, user interface and innovative style within these infringing products.”
The lawsuit was filed in the Northern District of California on Friday and seeks injunctions against Samsung, damages (both actual and punitive), and a finding that the infringement was willful.
