The battle tale of Samsung vs Apple

 This fight between these two companies seems almost childish but most fights usually are. This started after Samsung announced it's Galaxy 2. Apparently both these companies worked on this patent project together. Not so much details on which formula . So when Samsung announced GALAXY tab 10.1,Apple believe the patent idea was stolen being that the features was quite similar to it's iPhone & iPad. Such as the functions, pinching and scrolling and the flat black design.
  Apple filed a suit against Samsung April 15.2011 for "Intellelectual Properties".  Spokesman for Apple states their must protect their creative ideas and patents.
At that note ,the next week Samsung filed a counter suit in Seoul Central District Court for '5 allegining 5 infringements. These complaints consist of two cities in Germany and Tokyo.
After this this lawsuits had been silent. Then news that these lawsuit is now Europe,Japan and United States. Apple had received a head in this battle, an injunction against Samsung. Which, Samsung has to show 3 samples of the Galaxy to Apple for review and approval ,also block sales of Galaxy in Germany till this dispute is over .Samsung agreed.
Despite this ruling Samsung has filed a counter suit against Apple in Australia on September 16, 2011 for "iOS based devices". Not only that Samsung is out to ban iPhone 5 in South Korea before it's even launched. I guess 'you ban me ,I ban you'! It's angle for the ban is 'patents violations +related to wireless communications ASAP right after the Cuperlino,California based company. Samsung's source stated " For as long as Apple does not drop mobile telecommunications functions ,it would be impossible for it to sell it's i-branded product 5without using our patents,we will stick to a string stance against Apple during the lingering legal fights." said to the Korea Times. Even earlier it has been said that this lawsuit Apple has against Samsung should been thrown out. What do you think? I kind of agree. This is typical what happens in the business world. Beside there are so many phones that has such similarities to other make and models. Even cars . This battle might goes on for long while. But for what goal exactly. The Samsung Galaxy  and the Apple iPad and iPhone is already known and consumers wants it. If these phones gets block and might not hit the market this will lose costumer faith in these leading companies. Who wants to hear a exciting and well purpose phone and has to wait much longer that needed to. Hopes all goes well!
