Today the Samsung company filed a new lawsuit against the Apple company, but this time South Korea and not Germany is the location where the lawyers of the two companies will meet in court. Samsung claims that the iPhone 4S and iPad 2 infringe no less than 3 patents related to technologies for displaying data, sending short messages and displaying the user interface. This is one of the many attempts to block the sale of iDevices in several countries around the world, but until now Samsung has only managed to lose and defend itself in important lawsuits against Apple.
Samsung Electronics Co said on Wednesday it has filed another lawsuit against Apple Inc in South Korea, claiming the iPhone 4S and iPad2 infringed on three of its patents. The move escalates the tension between the firms as they vie for dominance of the mobile device market, after a series of legal clashes in Australia, Germany, and the Netherlands. Samsung said the fresh suit, filed on Tuesday to a Seoul court, covers three utility patents and involves methods of displaying data, the user interface, and short text messages.
