Sam da notiramo da je Epl otkrio iPad Mini i iPad 4 sveckoj javnosti. Takođe, nije loše da se setimo da je iPad 3 bio pušten u divljinu pre svega šest meseci. 

ipad mini me nece gledati, ta velicina mi je prosto neprakticna.

Ooops! Appleovi patenti koje je Samsung tobože tako brutalno eksploatisao bez nadoknade, zapravo se ne smatraju validnim u novom mišljenju američke patentne kancelarije, pošto postoje primeri prethodne primene istih:

USPTO invalidates Apple's "rubber-banding" patent asserted against Samsung 

Quote
It was discovered in a Monday court filing from Samsung that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office tentatively invalidated Apple's bounce scroll, or "rubber-banding," patent, possibly putting the Apple v. Samsung jury's decision regarding the property at risk.

First reported by FOSS Patent's Florian Mueller, the filing notes that the USPTO invalidated all claims of Apple's U.S. Patent No. 7,469,381, including two rejections on claim 19 which was successfully asserted against Samsung in the companies' high-profile California trial.

From the USPTO's examination:

 

Rejections:

The following rejections are utilized by the Examiner below, referencing the proposed prior art listed on pages 23-85 of the Request:

Rejection A: Claims 1-6, 8-12, 16, 19, and 20 as being anticipated by Lira

Rejection B: Claims 7 and 13-15 as being obvious over Lira

Rejection D: Claims 1-5, 7-13, and 15-20 as being anticipated by Ording

Samsung points out in its statement to Judge Lucy Koh that the USPTO published the finding on its website on Oct. 22, following an ex parte examination of the patent. It was reported in May that an anonymous request to reexamine the '381 patent, along with Apple's U.S. Patent No. 7,479,949 for touchscreen heuristics. At the time, it was thought that Android maker Google lodged the request, however it could have been any number of rival companies in the business of building smartphones.

Rejection A and Rejection D are based on prior art considerations, one from PCT Publication No. WO 03/081458 on "controlling content display," by AOL/Luigi Lira, published on October 2, 2003 and U.S. Patent No. 7,786,975 on a "continuous scrolling list with acceleration," with named inventors Bas Ording, Scott Forstall, Greg Christie, Stephen O. Lemay and Imran Chaudhri.

A finding of anticipation means no inventive step was found between the prior art and Apple's '381 patent claims. The company must now prove to the patent office, or the appeals court that the IP was both new and its claimed inventive step is tenable.

Judge Koh is currently hearing so-called Rule 50 motions, or those that overrule jury decisions, from Samsung and Apple. The USPTO's non-final finding may play a role in her decision regarding the devices affected by the '381 patent, and if a final Office action comes in invalidating the claims, the patent could be unenforceable.

As Mueller notes, however, Apple has a chance to persuade the patent office as more than on non-final Office action can be reached, and final Office action can be reconsidered by the Central Reexamination Division. The last decision by the division can then be appealed to the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences, and that outcome can be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Finally, a Federal Circuit decision can be appealed to the Supreme Court, though the matter is unlikely to reach such extremes.

As for Samsung, the Korean company already developed a workaround to the overscroll bounce patent, but if the invention were to be found invalid, it is probable that the feature would make a return to handsets sold in the U.S.

Apple tells judge it needs two weeks to update website 

A British judge has criticised Apple after the company claimed it would take two weeks to change a notice on its website about its patent lawsuit loss to Samsung. 

The Court of Appeal in London has ordered Apple to replace the notice, which the court says is "incorrect", within 24 hours but the California-based company said it would take 14 days to make the change.   

Apple posted a notice on its website last week acknowledging a British court ruling that said Samsung had not copied Apple's iPad in designing its own tablets. The ruling required Apple to post the notice on its website and to place it as an advertisement in a range of publications.   However, the notice also referenced similar cases in Germany and the US in which Apple defeated Samsung and made reference to the judge's comments in the British case that Samsung products were "not as cool".   

Samsung complained that parts of the statement were "untrue" and "incorrect" and the Court of Appeal has agreed. Sir Robin Jacob said: "I'm at a loss that a company such as Apple would do this. That is a plain breach of the order."   Apple's lawyers argued that the statement was in line with the order, which was intended to correct the impression that Samsung had copied Apple's designs.
 
Apple requested 14 days to make the changes to the statement but the court refused. The judge said: "I just can't believe the instructions you've been given. This is Apple. They cannot put something on their website?"

He suggested that Tim Cook, Apple's chief executive, should make a statement to the court explaining why the change would take so long.

Apple lost the case against Samsung in July when Judge Colin Birss ruled that the Korean firm's products were not "cool" enough to be confused with Apple's. Apple tried to overturn the ruling last month in the Court of Appeal but lost.

Apple Can't Use The iPhone Name in Mexico

Quote
Apple's trademark lawsuit against Mexican telecommunications company, iFone, has backfired horribly.
Apple's zealous protection of its trademarks may have cost the company dearly, if a report from Mexican newspaper, El Universal, is to be believed.
In 2009, Apple launched a lawsuit against Mexican telecom company, iFone, arguing that consumers wouldn't be able to tell it and the iPhone apart. Now the name iFone does bear a striking resemblance to that of Apple's ludicrously successful shiny tray/phone hybrid, but here's where things get interesting; the iFone trademark was registered in 2003, back when the iPhone was just a twinkle in Steve Jobs' eye. Apple didn't register the iPhone trademark until 2007.iFone won the lawsuit, then counter sued and won that case too. Apple appealed, but the case was tossed out last week.
According to the Judges sitting in Mexico's 18th District Appellate Court, iFone is the only company allowed to use the "iPhone" or "iFone" brands in Mexico. The ruling could even be applied retroactively, allowing iFone to claim a sizable chunk of the profits Apple has made using the brand name in Mexico.
As iFone's lawyer, Eduardo Gallástegui, explained to El Universal (as translated by the clever chaps over at The Register):
"All that remains is processing claims for invasion of brand. Additionally, they face a sanction of up to 20,000 days at minimum wage rate, and iFone shall be entitled to claim compensation for damage caused by the invasion of their brand. These damages may not be less than 40 per cent of the sales of iPhone services in Mexico, as provided by law."
This is the second time in recent months that one of Apple's copyright/patent lawsuit has backfired. In July, a UK judge ordered the company to publish a statement on its UK Homepage saying that, contrary to its earlier claims, Samsung had not in fact infringed on one of its registered iPad designs. Apple complied, but in a rather snide, passive aggressive way. The apology, hidden behind a tiny link at the bottom of the company's UK frontpage, was filled with digs at Samsung - including quotes from a judge saying Samsung's Galaxy tablet was "not as cool" as the iPad - and ended with a claim that courts in other countries had ruled in Apple's favor. Not amused by Apple's behavior, the judge reprimanded the company for putting up an "incorrect" and "non-compliant" statement and ordered them to put up another one, in a larger font.

Apple today posted its second Samsung apology to its UK website, complying with requests by the UK Court of Appeal to say its original apology was inaccurate and link to a new statement. As users on Hacker News and Reddit point out, however, Apple modified its website recently to ensure the message is never displayed without visitors having to scroll down to the bottom first.

A jao, pa bolji je od Iphona 

iphone je sama plastika. nema tu prave vrijednosti.

Nema ni plastike 

ma ima! i to one reciklirane.

Apple i patenti... sa jedne strane ih kažnjavaju za kršenje tuđih patenta:

Apple engineers 'pay no attention to anyone's patents', court told 
A sa druge im odobravaju patente na takve tehnološke inovacije kao što je "zaobljeni četvorougao"  :

Apple awarded design patent for actual rounded rectangle

Dobro, makar je ovo drugo "dizajn patent", a to je sličnije trejdmarku nego "pravom" tehnološkom patentu...

Čini mi se da se Epl malo pogubio nakon Džobsove smrti. Poslednjih nekoliko projekata nemaju tu njegovu viziju, ni u dizajnerskom ni u tehnološkom smislu. Da se razumemo, ne volim ni Epl ni njihove proizvode - sa mogućim izuzetkom ajPoda, kojeg nemam - ali mislim da je Epl naterao ostatak industrije na inovaciju. Bojim se da će ta industrija stagnirati ako ne bude prinuđena da se stalno upinje da pruži nešto bolje od Epla.

Ja naravno ne smem da kažem ništa konklutzivno jer nemam sad neke ozbiljne uvide u sve to koje bih analizirao pa doneo informisan sud, ali zaista je utisak da, dok je Džobs bio živ, Apple jeste otimao, klao i silovao ali se na posletku nametao snagom proizvoda, dok u Kukovoj eri pokušavaju da konkurenciju sudski istisnu iz takmičenja.

Al videćemo. Nije da nisu izgubili ogroman deo tržišnog udela dok je Džobs još disao.

Mislim da nisu gubili tržište. Njima je prodaja neprestano rasla. Mislim da se android razvio pre na račun Nokije nego Epla. Čini mi se da je ajFon 5 najprodavaniji model telefona na svetu - u drastično većoj meri od GS3 ili Note-a. Međutim, poslednja istraživanja kažu da Epl gubi korisnike koji su spremni da kupuju njihove proizvode po svaku cenu. To nije dramatičan gubitak, istina. Ali za Džobsovog života tako nešto ne bi moglo da dođe u obzir, je je Epl pre svega estetski - ali i hardverski - davao najbolji mogući proizvod. Danas ipak ne može da se kaže kako je ajFon 5 hardverski bolji proizvod od glavnog konkurenta. Epl se i dalje dobro drži na polju tableta, ali videćemo šta će biti kada Mikrosoft uđe u igru.

Oh, gubili su ga prilično. Evo, recimo, pre dve godine su imali 26 posto tržišta, a sada imaju 16,9 posto. Što je i skok u odnosu na prethodnu godinu. Ali zato i dalje ostvaruju preko 70 zarade jer prodaju jako skupe sprave.

I stand corrected. Ovo izgleda sluti da će Epl morati da se posveti tzv. ekonomskom segmentu tržišta, ali to bi dovelo do promene njihove paradigme. U svakom slučaju, Epl mora da se menja - to je neosporno. Mene brine, da će se ostali tehnološki lideri, poput Amazona i Gugla, prestati da se trude i da će početi da iskorišćavaju svoje korisnike (više nego što to već čine).

Samsung's Galaxy S III steals smartphone crown from iPhone

Quote
The best-selling smartphone in the world is no longer an iPhone. New data released on Thursday by market research firm Strategy Analytics finds that Samsung's (005930) Galaxy S III was the world's top-selling smartphone model in the third quarter this year, displacing Apple's (AAPL) iPhone for the first time in years. Samsung announced earlier this week that cumulative Galaxy S III channel sales reached the 30 million unit milestone and according to Strategy Analytics, 18 million of those were shipped in Q3 2012. During the same period, Apple shipped an estimated 16.2 million iPhone 4S handsets, slipping into the No.2 spot for the quarter.
"Samsung's Galaxy S3 smartphone model shipped 18.0 million units worldwide during the third quarter of 2012," said Strategy Analytics analyst Neil Shah. "The Galaxy S3 captured an impressive 11 percent share of all smartphones shipped globally and it has become the world's best-selling smartphone model for the first time ever. A large touchscreen design, extensive distribution across dozens of countries, and generous operator subsidies have been among the main causes of the Galaxy S3's success. Apple shipped an estimated 16.2 million iPhone 4S units worldwide for second place, as consumers temporarily held off purchases in anticipation of a widely expected iPhone 5 upgrade at the end of the quarter."
Samsung's time at the top will be short-lived however, as Apple's iPhone 5 is expected to regain the title to top-selling smartphone in the December quarter. "Samsung's Galaxy S3 has proven wildly popular with consumers and operators across North America, Europe and Asia," Shah's colleague Neil Mawtson stated. "However, the Galaxy S3's position as the world's best-selling smartphone model is likely to be short-lived. The Apple iPhone 5 has gotten off to a solid start already with an estimated 6.0 million units shipped globally during Q3 2012. We expect the new iPhone 5 to out-ship Samsung's Galaxy S3 in the coming fourth quarter of 2012 and Apple should soon reclaim the title of the world's most popular smartphone model."

Sad znamo šta je Apple znao da će da mu smeta.

Američki sud je upravo odlučio da Appleov "pinch to zoom" patent, na osnovu kojeg su silovali Samsung na sudu, zapravo nije validan jer postoji prethodni primer. Apple će se boriti protiv ove odluke.

A njemački sud oborio i Appleov slide to unlock patent

German Court finds Apple's 'slide to unlock' patent invalid

Quote

Germany's Federal Patent Court on Thursday invalidated all of Apple's claims for its slide to unlock patent. The news comes courtesy of Florian Mueller of FOSS Patents who was in the courtroom observing the proceedings in question.
 

Samsung and Google's Motorola Mobility have just scored a win over a famous Apple user interface patent. The Bundespatentgericht, Germany's Federal Patent Court, ruled that all claims of EP1964022 on "unlocking a device by performing gestures on an unlock image" are invalid as granted, and additionally held that none of the 14 amendments proposed by Apple could salvage the patent.

>http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8JZBLjxPBUU

Apple, of course, plans to appeal.
A question worth posing, however, is to what extent does this matter anymore?
As Mueller points out, Apple's slide to unlock function is today much more famous than it is a strategic feature. Note that Apple's slide to unlock patent doesn't embody every multitouch unlocking gesture and that many companies have developed alternatives that skirt around Apple's patent.



Mueller also points out a fundamental difference between patent law in the US and patent law in Europe. Put simply, the patent requirements in Europe are more stringent to the extent that they are granted for technical solutions to technical problems.
"In this case," Mueller writes, "the mere fact that a sliding gesture has a visual representation was not deemed to constitute a technical innovation worthy of patent protection."
The death blow for Apple's slide to unlock patent was likely a Swedish phone called the Neonode N1m that launched well before the iPhone and featured its own slide to unlock implementation. The N1m was released in 2005 while Apple's own patent for slide to unlock wasn't filed until December of 2005.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=8JZBLjxPBUU

Skip ahead to about 3:58 into the video and you'll see something very familiar.
Incidentally, a Dutch Court also found Apple's slide to unlock patent invalid because of the Neonode N1m.
When Steve Jobs first introduced the iPhone, he confidently went over some of its unique features and boldly exclaimed, "and boy have we patented it!" Yet here Apple is, still battling over iPhone patents.

An Alaskan airport has closed an aircraft access route because of a flaw with Apple's Maps app.
Fairbanks International Airport told a local newspaper that in the past three weeks two motorists had driven along the taxiway and across one of its runways.
Apple's app had directed users along the taxiway but did not specifically tell them to drive onto the runway.
The firm has now issued a temporary fix.
Users searching for directions are told they are "not available" rather than showing the earlier route.
A spokesman for Apple was unable to provide comment.
The airport said it had first complained to the phone-maker three weeks ago via the local attorney general's office.
"We asked them to disable the map for Fairbanks until they could correct it, thinking it would be better to have nothing show up than to take the chance that one more person would do this," Melissa Osborn, chief of operations at the airport, told the Alaska Dispatch newspaper.
She added that barricades had since been erected to block access to the final stretch of the taxiway and that they would not be removed until Apple had updated its directions.
The BBC still experienced the issue when it tested the app early on Wednesday, asking for directions to the site from a property to the east of the airport. By contrast the Google Maps app provided a different, longer route which takes drivers to the property's car park.


A spokeswoman for the airport said that Apple had finally disabled the faulty directions at about 19:00BST.
Warnings ignored Apple faced criticism after it ditched Google's service as its default maps option last year.
Complaints of inaccuracies followed, including placing Dublin Airport about 17km (11 miles) away from its true location after apparently confusing the site with a farm named Airfield.
The Australian police went so far as to warn that Apple's software was "life threatening" after motorists became stranded in a national park after being given the wrong directions to the city of Mildura, Victoria.
Chief executive Tim Cook posted a letter to the firm's website apologising for the "frustration" caused and promised "we are doing everything we can to make Maps better".
The company has since taken over several other mapping software developers including Locationary, Hopstop and Embark.
Reviews of its latest operating system, iOS 7, noted that its Maps product had improved, with the Guardian newspaper reporting that Apple's "POI (points of interest) database is getting better".
However, the latest mishap indicates problems remain.
Fairbanks Airport said the drivers involved in the 6 September and 20 September incidents had both been from out of town and had ignored signposts warning them that they should not be driving along the taxiway.


"They must have been persistent," the airport's assistant manager Angie Spear told the BBC.
"They had to enter the airport property via a motion-activated gate, and afterwards there are many signs, lights and painted markings, first warning that aircraft may share the road and then that drivers should not be there at all.
"They needed to drive over a mile with all this before reaching the runway. But the drivers disregarded all that because they were following the directions given on their iPhones."
The runway the motorists crossed was used by 737 jets among other aircraft. No one was injured.
"All these types of mapping software have flaws but the problem for Apple is that because it's such a high-profile brand, it gets a lot of attention," said Neil McCartney from the McCartney Media and Telecoms consultancy.
"It's very important for a company in that sort of situation to acknowledge a problem when it is reported and then put it right as fast as possible."
Nick Dillon, senior device analyst at research house Ovum, added that Fairbanks Airport's complaint illustrated how hard the mapping business was to get right.
"With Apple Maps the firm has made a rare misstep by releasing a product which has not lived up to its own high standards.
"Apple evidently did not fully grasp the complexity involved in deploying a mapping service and its continuing woes show that it is not an easy thing to fix."
