Post 6-Apple vs. Samsung
I read this article (http://news.msn.com/science-technology/stalemate-between-apple-samsung-in-smartphone-wars) about Apple and Samsung competing in the consumer electronics industries and it stood out to me that the article hinted that "smartphone patent wars are now grinding toward a stalemate" because it still seems to me that this is a multi-billion dollar industry and the fact that Apple may not have been able to prove without a doubt that Samsung's infringements hurt Apple sales should not signify the stalemate of the smartphone patent war.

Isn't it fascinating that the patent war could finally come to a close? We hear so much about it all the time on the news. But I agree with Tim Cook's original argument that since Samsung is a huge supplier of Apple product components, Apple should avoid aggravating Samsung.
ReplyDeleteI think although Apple is dependent on Samsung as its supplier, it still should not give in too much to Samsung. Otherwise, Samsung would just do the same thing for every other product that Apple comes up with, and freeloads off its customer base. A line needs to be drawn as to how much Apple can give in. In this case, however, both sides could be much better off if they cooperate instead of fighting each other, making it more attractive for Apple and Samsung to end their war against each other.
