Apple: Samsung is harassing us with its iPhone 5 and iPad 3 request

Apple is not happy with Samsung's latest legal request to view prototype versions of the iPad 3 and the iPhone 5. The Cupertino company recently filed a response in which it called Samsung "the copyist" and claimed the Korean company is trying to harass it with these unreasonable demands.

This latest volley is one of many between the two tech companies. Apple filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against Samsung accusing the Korean company of copying its iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Samsung then countersued Apple with claims of patent infringement. Apple turned up the heat when it asked to review sample units of unreleased but publicly announced products such as the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Samsung responded in kind by requesting the iPad 3 and the iPhone 5. Got all that?

Some of these issues will be decided this Friday when Samsung and Apple will meet with the judge presiding over the case to discuss Samsung's controversial iPhone 5 and iPad 3 request. These legal proceedings are taking place in the US District Court for the Northern District of California.

Der's nothin fair about sumsungs claim here.. its like they are asking apple "please show us what you are thinking 2 yrs down the line so that we can make a copy of that too in advance and manage to bypass the infringment laws as well" ... galaxy tabs are "announced products and advertised.. so its fair to say that "advertizing proves intent of sellin solidly enough"... and if that infringes others rights.. they hav a right to oppose - the two claims are widely different in nature.

I want your whiskey mouth
All over my blonde south.
Red wine, cheap perfume,
And a filthy shout.

Tonight bring all your friends,
Because a group does it better.
Why river with a pair?
Let's have a full house of leather.

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-who,
who-who, who-who
Heavy metal lover.
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-who,
who-who, who-who
Heavy metal lover.

Dirty pony, I
Can't wait to hose you down.
You've got to earn your leather,
In this part of town.

Dirty pearls, and a patch
For all the Rivington Rebels.
Let's raise hell in the streets,
Drink beer and get into trouble.

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-who,
who-who, who-who
Heavy metal lover.
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-who,

I could be your girl,
Girl, girl, girl, girl, girl
But would you love me
If I ruled the world, world, world.

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-who,

Whip me, slap me, drunk ****,
New York clubber, drunk dunk,
Budlight liquors, bar slam,
Move it this is your jerk.
Wash the night with St. Jameson,
Like a baptism, heavy metal lovers play,
Baby we were born this way.

Who-Who-Who, ooh-who,
who-who, who-who

Samsung has no right to Apple's Prototypes. Especially, because they are their main competitor. Samsung is a malicious company and does not deserve to exist.

Isn't this what they mean by unreasonable search and seizure? Or was that just a droll punch line?

Apple is acting like weaklings like they are not the largest tech company on the face of the planet. They can dish it out but they cant take it.

Any idea who'll be replacing Samsung as the parts supplier for the iPhone 5 and iPad 3?

For the chips they might no longer produce the A5 chips and just rely on Intel chips

I worked for Samsung through a US marketing agency for 2-3 years. They are 110% clueless about anything related to UI, how people use products, how people could want to use products and how to advertise themselves. They are a mindless carbon-copy machine. If you see good advertising around a Samsung product, it was probably created by a wireless company trying to sell their product.

That said, Apple has every right to see a product if Samsung is already demo-ing it or advertising it. I don't think there are demos of any of the Apple products Samsung would like to see.
