Mon, let's all color us shocked at once. It will be fun. We promise. If you rock bottom home the last ten years or so have you may have missed a Chinese outfit called Meizu. For all intents and purposes, the company has done its darnedest copying Apple in any way, in particular with the software on its M8 and M9 smartphones. Strangely, we have heard confirmation never Cupertino's best lawyers of Meizu's breathing were neck... until now. As the story goes, Meizu CEO Jack of Wong's forum postings have been pretty late tense, and in particular seems to explain why: Apple's all in his grill. The details are under a fair bit pent-up anger hidden, but what is clear is a mention of Apple's lawyers and their "unreasonable negotiating tactics." Essentially, Jack finds it absurd that Apple could claim rights to the touchscreen Smartphone form factor and while Apple only relatively few in China could serve, (obviously) expects Meizu far more to serve. We do not claim to be sad in Jack's name - we mean, the guy had come - but we can shake the impending depression, when thinking of a world with no future Meizu devices to to giggle.
keep in mind that a random company Apple in March 2008 be sued, tear off for its display interface patents? Turns out, that was stored in the Eastern District of Texas, a breeding ground for patent trolls, who know that you a better than average chance of winning, simply because of where your questions will be taken up. Sure enough, is Cupertino's stock of lawyers is obliged today, is a loss to demand after a jury verdict resulted in Apple is procedure "as much as $ 625.5 million, mirror worlds for infringement of patents as documents digitally displays." Ouch. Of course, Apple has US district judge Leonard Davis asked stay pointing out for an emergency that insist on two of the three problems; in addition Apple have claimed that mirror worlds would be "A dive triple" when to collect $ 208.5 million on each patent. In connection is related news considering the judges a separate Apple request (one placed, before the judgment), "Not the company two patents violate rule" - if granted, the "amount of damages attributed to these two patents strike would." In other words, this whole ordeal is far from over. We can say we look forward to the play by play here very at the thought, but this could definitely put a slight indentation in Apple's monstrous 45, 8-billion dollar bunch of liquid securities. Or as some would say, "A drop on the hot stone."
