Apple vs Samsung

Apple has sued Samsung to block sales of the company’s highly anticipated Galaxy S III smartphone in the United States.

According to complaint, which was filed in a California court earlier this week and posted online by patent law blogger Florian Muller, the Galaxy S III clearly infringes on data-tapping and unified search technologies owned by Apple.

“Samsung believes Apple’s request is without merit,” a Samsung spokesperson told the Los Angeles Times in a statement. “We will vigorously oppose the request and demonstrate to the court that the Galaxy S III is innovative and distinctive.”
