Samsung denies meeting with Apple to discuss patent dispute

Legal

Samsung on Monday denied Apple attorney Harold McElhinny’s claim that the two companies are currently holding high-level talks in an attempt to settle ongoing patent disputes. U.S. district judge Lucy Koh told the companies last week to meet and discuss possible amicable solutions to their disputes. McElhinny responded by saying executives from the two companies are “meeting and talking,” but Samsung is singing a different tune. “We are unaware of any meetings or discussions between the two sides over this matter,” a Samsung spokesperson said in a statement. It’s odd that Apple’s counsel would falsely claim the two companies are holding meetings if they are not, but we’re sure judge Koh will have a few choice words for McElhinny if it turns out his statement was not accurate.

    These lawsuits are so lame. Apple’s argument is that Samsung uses a grid-like pattern to display apps.

      It is probably the patent system which is lame. That is what allows and really requires these companies to sue if they plan on participating in the defective system. The financial stakes are huge and pretty much every major tech company out there is suing other tech companies. Fix the patent system and many of these “lame” lawsuits would quickly disappear. It seems that the motivation to fix the system however, is little to none.

      I think Apple’s claim was that the Galaxy S 4G is a copy of the iPhone 3gs, and that the UI looks “the same” including many icons.
      Also Nexus S and galaxy tab were added to the complain.

      - “Apple’s argument is that Samsung uses a grid-like pattern to display apps.”

      It’s far more than that…

      Much of Apple’s claim against Samsung refers to “Trade Dress”

      Look it up…

        Exactly. I wish people would research stuff they have no clue about before blathering about it on the Internet.

    Is this the reason that the SGSII hasn’t been released in the US yet?

      No. Unlike Europe, phones here get released through carriers, who need time to figure out which bloatware apps are going to be installed. Then they need to figure out a stupid name.

      These things take time.

      How do you know when an apple lawyer or their current CEO is lying?  Their lips are moving!

      Because Samsung wouldn’t lie.

    Apple and lawyers both regularly lie. Why would this be odd?
