Another patently issue between Apple and Samsung

Apple has sued Samsung in federal court in California about four different patent violations in which Apple has reported that Searching through voice command and unlocking the phone through sliding the image are included.

Apple has reported these violations for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (smartphone) that is the first phone using Google's latest version of Android i.e. Ice Cream Sandwich. The company has said that these features are expected by the people in Apple's products.

"Google cannot deny its undivided responsibility for any infringement findings. A preliminary injunction would not prohibit the sale of a Galaxy nexus just because it's called Galaxy Nexus or looks like one: it's all about which patents it infringes on," said independent patent expert Florian Meuller.

"I am absolutely certain that...for the preliminary injunction motion the Galaxy Nexus was singled out because it's so new, and important."

"We continue to assert our intellectual property rights and defend against Apple's claims to ensure our continued innovation and growth in the mobile communications business," Samsung said in a statement.
