Patent war escalates.
The ongoing patent dispute between Samsung and Apple has stepped up a level as Google has entered the fray.
Last week, the US District Court for Northern California granted Apple an injunction against Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus, which appears to have been the catalyst for Google’s involvement
A Samsung insider was reported as saying: ““It’s too early to comment on our game plan [with Google] in the legal battle; but we will do our best to get more royalties from Apple, which has benefited from our technology”
Samsung is demanding Apple pay 2.4 per cent of the retail price of iPhones and iPads to use its technology. However, the Cupertino-based company claims the rate is excessive.
Apple is also seeking injunctions against Samsung’s products for copying the design of the iPhone and iPad.
