Apple and Samsung are ready for the second war

31/3 day (US time), the media will put the long line outside the courthouse waiting for San Jose to the second case between the two largest smartphone maker in the world.

• The early days of the journey to change the world of iPhone

"The second battle", "The return of Apple and Samsung '... is what the press is a description of two" giants "of the mobile industry. Two groups of lawyers that Apple and Samsung have spent tens of millions of dollars to hire will also be displays of intense debate.

Apple is the company initiated the war in 2011 when the event Samsung imitate the iPhone design and copyright violated some of its technology.The first trial ended in May 8/2012 with $ 1.05 billion judgment against Samsung and now this number is reduced to $ 930 million. Monday court session took place on the last day of March will discuss the technology available in mobile devices are changing the daily lives of people.

In the new battle, Apple claims Samsung products such as Galaxy S3, Galaxy Tab 2 ... 5 violated their patents, including technology Siri voice search, and slide to unlock feature slide to unlock ... This is the newer product, with higher sales compared with the first Galaxy S life extent of the damage should be assessed is also more serious.

Requires Samsung to pay Apple $ 40 per phone was found illegal use of Apple copyright, 5 times higher than that Apple proposed sentence in the first case. However, while Apple and Samsung face on devices like the Galaxy S3 in April, the South Korean firm marketed the Galaxy S5. That would somewhat reduce the impact of Apple on Samsung's allegations by the product during the trial were older.

"The trial is just the fact that technology and laws are going with different speeds," said Mark Lemley, an expert in law at Stanford University, said.

But for Apple, the trial against Samsung as a way to punish them Korean firm for "perverse duplication technology" in the iPhone 5, iPad Mini and MacBook Pro.

Apple will still use a lot of witnesses were present in the first trial. Tech world also believe that the company will reveal more secrets internal development journey iPhone and iPad, as the engineers had to spend many years, through many difficulties of how to implement the changes small but important (as sort messages as seamless conversations instead of small messages are arranged by time) to then be rivals such as Samsung imitate and grab market share.

Android operating system will be the focus rather than first quite sink. For many observers, Apple actually wants to fight Google and they chose Samsung as it is the manufacturer's most successful Android devices while some other companies were also copied Apple. Steve Jobs, Apple co-founder, told Google Chairman Eric Schmidt as saying, "I do not need money from him. If he gave me $ 5 billion, I do not need it. The only thing I want is the he please stop putting our ideas in Android platform. " Jobs also announced that it would resort to the last breath, to the last penny targets to destroy Android because it is stolen product.

Therefore, Samsung's witness list also has some senior leaders of Google for the purpose of sharing the Android development process and rejected Apple's allegations.

The trial is expected to continue into May (the first trial for 3 weeks) and likely not the last legal battle between Apple and Samsung in the United States. Apple also continues to suggest the judge banned the sale of Samsung products in the country.
