Apple Wants Samsung Galaxy Nexus Banned in America
Apple wants the Ice Cream-bearing Samsung Galaxy Nexus phone that Samsung worked on with Google banned from the United States because it allegedly infringes four strong Apple technical patents – none of this squishy design stuff like before.
Apple quietly asked a district court in California for the preliminary injunction last Thursday as part of a new lawsuit.
Patent watcher Florian Mueller calls the patents the “Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.”
In Florian’s metaphor, they might to unleash pestilence, war, famine and death on Android 4.0 as it comes from Google – no Samsung features have been added to the so-called stock Android – giving the suit a potentially more crippling arc that implicates all Ice Cream Sandwich widgets.
It’s the closest Apple has gotten to taking on Google directly and if Google removes any of the challenged features it’s as good as an admission of an infringement taint, Florian observes.
