Samsung vs. Apple, the real legal battle has begun!

They challenged a few hours ago and already did not send her to say. Who are we talking? Of the two giants of mobile phones (and others) that continue to cane, but this time they do it in court and there are twists.

Like a good movie, even in this case, the characters show looming and convinced of their beliefs, their own philosophy. It is no coincidence that they are the masters of the market and smartphones on the market if we contending and divided to the tune of billions. Challenge for the future and not for the present.

The theater of battle is the Netherlands where the hearing was held on charges of Samsung against Apple, guilty, according to the Korean society of "violating some patents in wireless design of the iPhone and iPad" .

Apple is represented by the Advocate and Rutger Kleemans Freshfields team, Samsung Bas Berghuis of Simmons & Simmons . In this case the lawyers to speak and just manage to turn the "challenge" with statements like:

Samsung takes 2.4% of the cost of a chip for each of its patent . Apple considers these requests simply excessive. The two companies are still negotiating an agreement for the granting of licenses.

The real problem lies in the concept of patent license and evidently out of place by one of two parts. The so-called "licenses" may be exclusive or not, this means that the various company like Intel and Infineon , from which Apple buys chip, in turn, could have bought the licenses or patents whose value may or may not be "resold ". So where lies the problem? From the fact that those licenses or patents are those of Samsung ! So far, so ok. So what caused this dispute to be fierce?

The Korean company claims that Apple has more than "ten suppliers whose names are hidden on purpose." Why? To avoid paying these patents or licenses ones that really belong to Samsung. The latest proposal to Apple was rejected because it considered excessive. One wonders then if the trick has worked serious about Cupertino or if the lawyers are considering a counter to avoid the huge costs required by the fierce competitor.Who will win the day?
