War Design: Samsung strikes back

The most visible opposition to Apple and Samsung in patent dispute are not any specific function, and the claim itself to the fact that both companies make the smartphone market, the housing which has a rectangular shape with rounded corners, and the front panel has only one hardware button located on the axis of symmetry of the lower screen. In fact, the list of grievances, expressed in a patent infringement regarding the organization of the functional units is voiced by the media much less. Now, Samsung has in its official blog has posted an entire collection of their devices, which are very similar to the model of Apple, but have been presented earlier. One of these is a multimedia player Samsung YP-Q3, which was introduced in early 2010, but the design is easily guess the solutions used in the Apple iPhone 4, which came two months later. Similarly player Samsung YP-Z5, which generally comes from 2006, but it had a black rectangular case with silver metal trim, actually somewhat reminiscent of the style of iPhone 4/4S . Although it may be just as well be compared with any contemporary phone, for example, Sony Ericsson K750i, which also has a black finish with silver trim "under the metal." drive, of course, the model Samsung F700, which was shown in 2006 and served key to protecting Samsung in court, but the jury did not consider that its design is sufficiently similar to the iPhone. But a rectangle with rounded corners, a large screen and only one button are present. worth noting that Samsung devices resulting image data is not as arguments that Apple copied the wrong decision, but only in proyadke illustrate that, if desired, between devices that share similar functionality can find many common designs, and thus speak of copying does not make sense.
