Samsung quietly drops its latest counter-suit against Apple

04 July, 2011

Samsung has dropped its latest suit against Apple in the United States. This is not retreat, nor is Apple winning the case. According to Samsung it just needs to "streamline the legal proceedings".

All of a sudden, Samsung drops the patent suit it filed a few days ago. It was an answer to the latest Apple patent complaint and was filed at a US federal court.

Samsung made it clear that it will continue to defend and protect its intellectual property. Samsung has already other claims against Apple in South Korea, Japan, Germany and another one in the USA.

The only possible reason for Samsung to drop this suit is that it was filed in a hurry and probably wasn't prepared that well. We are yet to see how things will turn out.

The CPU in every iPhone/iPad are made by Samsung. What will happen if they decide to stop supplying them?

Can't Apple come forward to make any competition with functionality and user satisfaction against others? What kind of attitude it is? Do they still think that they are best?
