Here we go again. In the pissing contest legal battle that has now been going on for months between Samsung and Apple, an Italian judge has once again decided to side with Apple.
According to Italian news website AGI, a judge denied Samsung's request to ban the iPhone 4S in Italy. While the judge turned down Samsung's request, she did ask both companies to provide further evidence, which will be reviewed later in December...
Apple has been openly fighting against Android manufacturers for the past several months. The Cupertino company has accused handset makers like Samsung, HTC, and Motorola Mobility of infringing on its intellectual property.
A lot of people believe that Apple's hoard of patent lawsuits are going to end up stifling innovation, but they're not the only ones doing it. In fact, at this point, Android partners should probably be more afraid of Microsoft and its IP...
For those that don't follow Android news, the Galaxy Nexus handset is the new flavor of the month. Built by Samsung, the new device sports a ridiculous 4.65 Super AMOLED HD screen, and about every other feature you could ask for.
However, Samsung's mobile president Shin Jong-kyun believes the phone is missing something — Apple's patents. Just before the new Nexus was unveiled Tuesday night, Shin told reporters that Apple shouldn't have any problems with this one...
Google's Android operating system has certainly rocked the mobile industry over the last three years. With multiple manufacturers offering hundreds of feature-packed handsets around the world, the little green robot certainly has a lot going for it.
However, stiff competition from Apple and Microsoft, along with dozens of lawsuits coming from seemingly every direction, look to stop Android's explosive growth dead in it's tracks. How long can the mobile OS survive in this hostile industry?

On Mueller's blog, FOSSPatents, he discusses the importance of a recent decision by the Federal Court of Australia in the Apple vs. Samsung patent dispute. The court has just ordered an interim injunction over Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1...
Wpcentral passes on a report from the Inquisitr regarding Apple's latest move in the world of patents. Apparently the Cupertino company recently made some significant changes to its 2010 patent application on in-app purchasing.
While there could be several reasons behind the update, two of them stick out. First, there's that pesky Lodsys lawsuit Apple keeps trying to intervene in regarding several iOS developers and in-app purchasing. And the second...
Just like Verizon did last week, T-Mobile has submitted an amicus curiae to the court, officially siding with Samsung in its ongoing litigation against Apple. For the non-lawyers, an amicus curiae is when someone volunteers to offer information to assist a court in deciding on an issue.
T-Mobile's argument is similar to Verizon's. Both company don't want to see any of their best-selling 4G devices banned during the holiday season. Obviously, it would be a huge loss for the carriers, who generate a big chunk of revenue from this time of the year...
Most of you know by now that Apple and Samsung are in a grueling court battle. Back in April the Cupertino company filed a lawsuit against Samsung for violating its "trade dress," or in layman's terms, blatantly copying its device designs.
The ongoing litigation has resulted in a temporary ban of Samsung's Galaxy Tab and other devices in multiple countries, and the two companies are about to square off here in the US. Judging by this new "evidence," I'd say Apple has the upper hand...

Welcome to chapter XXVII of the ridiculous legal battle that Samsung and Apple are fighting, mostly over patents dictating who owns what technology. Today's potential lawsuit is brought to you by Samsung.

The war of the copycats rages on, with Apple now looking to block sales of Samsung's Galaxy series in Japan. After already filing a lawsuit against Samsung in the US, Australia, Europe, and even the company's home turf in South Korea, Apple has demanded that a ban be put in place on the sales of Samsung's Galaxy tablets and smartphones in Japan as well.
When will it ever end!
It seems that Apple's iCloud has won another battle – a battle over its own name. Ars Technica reports that iCloud Communications has dropped its legal battle over trademark infringement, with the company changing its name to PhoenixSoft/Clear Digital Communications.
The move comes after Apple's crack team of rabid lawyers flexed their collective muscles, leaving the Phoenix-based company no option but to change its trading name. The company's website, geticloud.com, also appears to have disappeared as part of the deal...
