And the never ending war continues. In recent news Apple is accusing Samsung of not following orders issued by a judge to turn over all necessary source code to be analyzed by the Cupertino based company. According to Apple, Samsung had “only partially complied with” the court order which mandated that Sammy hand over the goods including 4G handsets and the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Samsung had until December 31st to supply the code which they willingly offered by producing one version of code for each of the products accused of a patent violation, but withholding source code for other versions. And with the new trial coming up in late August, Apple is claiming that there’s not enough time to seriously analyze any new source code that Samsung would provide so late in the game. Apple states:
“At this point in the case, it is too late for Apple to make meaningful use of any late produced source code.”
Apple is now requesting that the court not allow Samsung to use any of the “undelivered” source code in their defense against Apple’s patent claims. Apple is actually taking it one step further and requesting that Samsung’s undelivered code be “representative of all versions of that product.” Stay tuned as we closely follow the two tech giants in their quest to dominate over the other. So far, the two companies have filed 30 suits against one another on four different continents since last April. Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments below.
