Samsung citeaza filmul lui Kubrick 2001: A space Odyssey impotriva injunctiei Apple in Europa

Dupa cum stiti daca ati fost la curent cu ce am scris pe acest blog, Apple si Samsung sunt la cutite in acest moment. Dupa ce Apple a acuzat Samsung ca i-a furat proprietatea intelectuala copiind iPhone-ul si iPad-ul cu Samsung Galaxy S si Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, Australia a decis sa interzica respectivele produse Samsung pe piata, iar la scurt timp dupa aceea o curte din Germania a acordat comapniei Apple o injunctie conform careia Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 este interzisa pe teritoriul Uniunii Europene.

Samsung a aratat in repetate randuri ca atat dovezile impotriva Samsung Galaxy Tab cat si cele impotriva Samsung Galaxy S au fost falsificate de Apple.

Iata ce raporteaza acum FOSS Patents:

Ever since Apple started to assert the design of the iPad against other manufacturers, many people have been wondering whether there's actually prior art for the general design of the iPad in some futuristic devices shown in sci-fi movies and TV series. And indeed, Samsung's lawyers make this claim now in their defense against Apple's motion for a preliminary injunction.

Se pare ca Samsung face referire la filmul lui Stanley Kubricj, 2001: A Space Odyssey ca si argument impotriva patentarii iPad-ului de catre Apple:

Attached hereto as Exhibit D is a true and correct copy of a still image taken from Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film "2001: A Space Odyssey." In a clip from that film lasting about one minute, two astronauts are eating and at the same time using personal tablet computers. The clip can be downloaded online at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ8pQVDyaLo. As with the design claimed by the D’889 Patent, the tablet disclosed in the clip has an overall rectangular shape with a dominant display screen, narrow borders, a predominately flat front surface, a flat back surface (which is evident because the tablets are lying flat on the table's surface), and a thin form factor.

Clipul despre care vorbeste Samsung mai sus este urmatorul:

Va fi interesant sa vedem daca curtea din Germania va lua in considerare argumentul conform caruia filmul lui Stanley Kubrick anuleaza brevetul Apple.
