Apple vs. Samsung: The Korean stumbling over internal memo?
Samsung must accept that a spicy paper is allowed from March 2010 in California patent litigation with Apple as evidence. The memo entitled "Relative Evaluation Report on S1, iPhone," which was completed by IT Blog All Things D on the document platform Scribd describes, at a total of 132 richly illustrated pages, such as the Galaxy and iPhone are different in terms of user interface - the Home screen on the calculator to the scope of the included apps. This will not only many of the potential weaknesses in the Galaxy software into the light - it follows also emulate a specific recommendation, the iPhone.
That on Tuesday in the court documents recorded document could provide in the eyes of the nine jurors "smoking gun" that Apple seeks to substantiate his allegations against Samsung copy. This involves some of the tiniest details, such as displaying the number of outstanding sites on the web browser or the ability to copy a word by tapping on it. Thus, the paper suggests, for example, icons "less monotonous" to make. If Apple would give these users a "luxurious feel" while they were at the Galaxy too flat. Ironically, the Samsung product developers also write, design conveys the strong impression that the iPhone-icon concept has been copied.
The approval of the "Relative Evaluation Report", which the court is in a Korean from the translated version is already the second damper for Samsung in two days. On Monday, an e-mail with sharp utterances of Samsung's mobile chief JK Shin was accepted as evidence. The manager there said, among other things, the iPhone, Samsung have a "design crisis" revealed, and he often get to hear the proposal to imitate Apple solutions.
On Tuesday also said the long-Apple designer Susan Kare, who was responsible among others for the icons of the original Macintosh. She herself had once been mistaken for a Samsung device with an iPhone, even though she herself comes to graphic design very carefully. Both designs were "confusingly similar" Kare was the comparison of Apple and Samsung smartphones. Samsung's lawyers responded by presenting the start screen of a "Droid" phone of the manufacturer. This initially shows a prominent Samsung logo and a tonunterlegtes video. To maintain the view that Apple designates as unlawful, the user must take two additional steps.
