The recent patent litigation in the U.S. is considered a highlight of the exchange of blows between Apple and Samsung. The two companies are fighting in court in many countries for supremacy of the smartphone market. It is expected that Apple will repeat their recent success in front of the U.S. Supreme Court and internationally. Industry insiders speculate that other manufacturers of Android smartphones will hastily revise the design of their devices in order to not be the next on the chopping block. We will most likely see the number of iPhone-like smartphones dramatically decrease soon.
Meanwhile, Google is indirectly in danger. Former Apple boss Steve Jobs, was after Google Android and was very angry and promised to wage a "nuclear war" against the operating system.
"I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong." said the late Steve Jobs.
Microsoft has the last laugh
Microsoft, meanwhile, has the last laugh in this patent dispute. The world's largest software company has the Windows Phone on the market, which so far has had only limited success. But Windows Phone can not be confused with the iPhone, and its user interface is also protected by legal agreements with Apple. These agreements strongly protect them against patent lawsuits. In addition, the software got many good grades from product reviewers and is in some areas, just as innovative as iOS.
The rumored iPhone 5 release date in September, seems to have prompted other tech companies to present something the same month. It is no accident that the expectantly most successful new technology product of Apple, is accompanied by other events. Samsung and Sony have already announced that they will release new products or enhanced versions of existing ones to the market in September.
