. The info Apple and Samsung have begun, since April 2011, a patent war: the Apple brand criticizes its main competitor to copy several patents of its mobile devices, and iPhone iPad. According to the specialized site FOSS Patents, Apple would add to the list of devices that would violate its own patents the latest flagship smartphone from Samsung, the Galaxy S4présenté March 15. Latest episode of a confrontation that should still take many months.

Response tit for tat. Since Samsung had done on the occasion of the release of the iPhone 5 in October, Apple is preparing to add the Galaxy S4 the list of devices that would copy his smartphone. Recall that the Californian brand won a first major victory in August 2012: a California judge sentenced her opponent to a fine of more than 700 million dollars (540 million euros). Samsung was then appealed to, in turn, to defend his sense of innovation and originality.

See you i n 2014. Both manufacturers had until Tuesday to offer a selection of 22 aircraft each to prove their expertise. But the court in charge of the trial set another ultimatum to 6 February 2014, when the list will be reduced to 15 devices: Apple must choose five of its products for home defense and designate 10 Samsung products it considers in violation of its patents. And vice versa for its competitor.
