Samsung's Galaxy line of smartphones and tablets have impressed reviewers and consumers alike, but a new lawsuit alleges that these devices infringe upon patents owned by Apple. The lawsuit, filed last week by Apple, claims that Samsung's mobile devices are "blatant" copies of Apple's iPhone and iPad.
The lawsuit, which was filed in the U.S. District Court of Northern California, accuses Samsung of copying the look and product design of the iPhone and iPad when creating the Android-based Galaxy line of smartphones and tablets.
The Wall Street Journal, which was the first to report on the lawsuit, quotes the 38-page filing as saying: "Rather than innovate and develop its own technology and a unique Samsung style for its smart phone products and computer tablets, Samsung chose to copy Apple's technology, user interface and innovative style in these infringing products."
