Until When Apple sues Android?
Washington – Apple continues to launch legal action on several Android handsets manufacturers are accused of violating his patent. The question is, how long the lawsuit last? According to analysts, Apple is not profitable action.
Kevin Ripette, intellectual property analyst at 3LP Advisors LLC stated true if Apple is willing to negotiate the path of peace and patents, they could reap $ 10 from each license for Android phones sold. Higher than that obtained Microsoft, which petennya also used in Android.
But Apple does not seem to want the path of peace. The late founder Steve Jobs as Apple says Android is a stolen product and want to stop it.
And in addition to considerable legal costs, Apple’s legal attacks can be tricked by the manufacturer of the Android. For example they simply modify their handsets so they would not violate Apple’s patents.
“Wearing their patents to stop rivals like putting a rock in the water flow. The flow of water was still able to find a way out,” said Kevin, quoted from AppleInsider, Thursday (29/12/2011).
Such illustrations have occurred in the Apple case against HTC. HTC phones indeed violate Apple’s patents in the United Seriat. But with a little modification, HTC smartphones can be sold again without violating Apple’s patents.
Unlike Apple, Microsoft chose the path of peace. They allow patents used in Samsung’s Android handsets, HTC and Acer. But the producers had to pay Microsoft.
Yet despite the opportunity to make money from Android, some parties considered that Apple will continue to launch a lawsuit. Moreover, Apple had the money so much that it felt no need to withdraw money from vendors Android.
