Apple revises and expands its trademark infringement case against Samsung

Today is the day Apple and Samsung will meet with the judge in its patent infringement case to discuss Samsung's request to see the iPhone 5 and the iPad 3. Before this meeting, Apple revised its trademark claim and expanded it to include other Samsung hardware.

The revision also adds stronger language to the complaint by substituting words like "misappropriated" with "copied" and providing additional details on how Apple's powerful brand and unique products have been hurt by Samsung's copycat mobile devices. The suit's main document now sits at an impressive 63 pages, up from the original 38.

The meeting will take place today at 1:30 pm Pacific Time and we will keep you informed of any decisions that influence this case.

who cares about design patents ? you would still buy samsung bigscreens, using samsung dram and flash memory.
samsung has defeated motorola in the past by making slimmer flip phones than motorola razr series, we would do the same with touch phones

Anyone else who wants to send his email address to Apple Dev Center for breaking the NDA?

I saw a commercial for the Galaxy S the other day and wasn't paying much attention, so my first thought was "Wow, that looks a lot like my iPhone 4." I honestly thought the four buttons on the bottom were some custom dock icons or something. I think the cat's in the bag for Apple.

Apple has a point, the whole industry copied their products and Samsung was the most blatant about it. Samsung should be fined for this business practice.

inguatu: So what if Apple loses market share to Android? It has nothing to do with the fact that Samsung is a copycat.
