What’s this! Now Apple once again targeting the Google’s Samsung Galaxy Nexus design and its slide-to-unlock style. Samsung has released yet another ad mocking the iPhone owners entitled, “Samsunged”. The ad touts the Samsung Galaxy S II over the iPhone due to its included navigation software. It also mocks Apple customers for waiting in line to purchase a phone with the exact same design as its predecessor.
Its time for Apple, who complains that the unlock gesture on the Galaxy Nexus is in voilation of its iconic ‘Slide To Unlock’ patent. In Germany court, Apple says that Samsung had copied its slide-to-unlock feature and implemented on the Google’s Android-based Galaxy Nexus. Apple has filed a lawsuit against Samsung alleging that the Galaxy Nexus infringes on an intellectual property right known as a utility firm, which FOSS Patents describes as a “fast-track patent that comes with various limitations,” that has to do with iOS’s well-known slide-to-unlock feature.
Apple has decided to assert its slide-to-unlock patent against Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus. This is the first time Apple has fingered the Nexus as an infringing device, and its decision to do so appears to be a significant escalation of the company’s campaign against Android. Not only is the Galaxy Nexus one of Samsung’s hero smartphones, it’s also Google’s Android 4.0 reference device.
In fact, it’s the only smartphone shipping with Android 4.0 right now. In other words, it’s the latest “pure Google” phone. Which is noteworthy.
