Tron-09, 26 May 2014If Apple made wheels for your car, that would be scary. ... moreWheels would be covered under FRAND rules, because without it a car would not work.

Guess who was found guilty of FRAND abuse? Hint: Not Apple

      This no doubt will push up sales for Samsung who gain pity.. which Samsung have already have in mind this is better for profit then to do R&D.

      People did not know this is the same company that copies vacuum cleaners from Dyson.. or totally ignore motorola atrix's fingerprint scanner .. but immediately copied apple's touchID in S5/5S. You can see the targeted copying from the illegal copy king.

      Its like a kid.. who copies in an exam .. get caught by teacher .. and go home crying.. hoping to get parent's pity ... REALLY sAD people Fell for it LOL..

            This taken from the report - "Apple will now try its luck to see if both its demands are met" suggests Apple really doesn’t have a case at all. They are relying exclusively on luck and a bought & paid judge...

                  This would be covered under FRAND law or "standards-essential" patents, without which cars would not be able to function. This is protected under a separate law and cannot be abused by companies.

                  Ironically, it is Samsung who have attempted to do exactly this, and found guilty in several courts:

                  Sorry Samsung, you cannot abuse the law and use your wheel patents against Apple when they want to make a car lol.

                    Apple could say I have a patent for round wheels therefore you are not allowed to make round wheels but square ones.

                    Apple So stupid, looking back I use to use Apple Computers as they where free from this gripe, now they are just money hogging and rules Beachin...

                      apple is being ridiculous now. if apple wants to compete with samsung, then it should stop making their users fool by revising the same features over and over in new products. and quit bitching around apple lol :P

                          Apple has already made Samsung their bitch by winning multiple patent infringement lawsuits, now they just want Samsung to have to do the "walk of shame" home.

                          Samsung doesn't even have the balls to cut off HW components to Apple. Samsung has got a bad case of Stockholm Syndrome.

                          LOL...

                              got tired of this band and unban

                              hope a company come and ban both of them, apple is losing markets because of lack of innovations so they want to increase their profits by banning other brands in the us or other countries or make them pay high amount of money.

Check the latest sales figures and you'll see that in most markets across the globe that Apple doesn't sell the majority of phones and they continue to lose market share.

                                      People are tired of the lawsuits, lack of innovation and lack of quality...BUT the new pastel UI colors are perfect for a fruit company.

                                        Apple realizes the only way to stop losing market share is by filing lawsuits preventing competitors from selling competing products.

                                        Now THAT my friends is called INNOVATION!
