iPhone 5 it has not yet appeared on the market, but those from Samsung are ready to sue Apple if the device will be compatible with networks LTE 4G. Last year those from Samsung did the same when the iPhone 4S was released, the Koreans filed lawsuits in several European states, losing all actions. The problem was that Apple bought baseband chips from companies that had licensed Samsung's technologies plus the right to sublicense them, so Apple was protected, but Samsung probably wanted some publicity.
Samsung confirmed that it will immediately sue Apple if the latter releases products using advanced long-term evolution (LTE) mobile technology. LTE has been emerging as the top standard in the global mobile industry.
Now the Koreans announce that they will also attack iPhone 5 if the device will work on 4G LTE networks, the company putting its patents for this type of technology to the test. I'm sure that Apple anticipated this move and would not have unnecessarily exposed itself to the possibility of being stuck with terminals in customs, so it probably bought licenses or products for which there is already the possibility of offering a sublicense. I think that Samsung is just looking for publicity in this case, I think that the chances of blocking an iPhone 5 because it works on 4G LTE networks are slim and I think that Samsung is spending a lot of money when it could be investing in research.
