And how are the courts funded? Taxes maybe? To enable a greater throughput, they might need to be more generously funded. Perhaps Tim could offer to provide the funding to get the end result he seems to want.
I bet Tim would be happy to fund the US courts to speed up the cases before the points are too late and Scamsung had benefited from the delays to the tune of billions of dollars. It just might not look too good if they did and won...
So Apple filed some paperwork in court. Big deal. Wake me when there's a verdict. Until then, this is hardly "news".
Normally I'd agree but just after Tim was pushing home the issue of the slowness of IP protection yesterday in front of the entire tech world (and a few politicians who probably didn't understand ) it seems more news worthy than normal IMHO.
How is it possible patents are violated when the endresult is better than what Apple makes...? Google Now is much better than Siri, so Google does better things with the so called pattents from Apple. Apple must realize that they fall behind more every year. Just take a look at the HTC One
If they are assuming that an iPhone cannot be released without using their technology, that means that the technology must be essential for the operation of a smartphone.
There were smartphones before Apple and I'm sure MS Windows phone 7/8 doesn't violate the patents.
Apple adds the Galaxy S4 to the suit after it's been out for a few weeks so that their engineers and IP experts have a chance to look at it and verify the infringement.
Didn't Samsung try to add the iPhone 5 to their suit before it was even announced?
Does it really matter? Is it that important to find every angle possible to paint Samsung as evil and Apple as saintly? Neither company is naive. They do what they feel is best at a time that makes the most sense to them.

I believe HTC took a long hard look at iPhone 5 before anyone looked at the HTC One.

Lovely! Another troll to block, and on its first post; though probably been round in numerous guises. Now if only there were some dedicated Android sites we could visit and mock. Nope, just sites where the droid users whine & complain and beg for assistance.
This article is a little misleading. Apple is suing over on-device search I believe. Google Now only refers to the service that prefetches relevant data from the internet and Google's cloud. I don't think Apple would have ground to sue over the actual Google Now since it's simply an extension of Google's search engine.
Because it isn't about the actual money so much as the principle of the thing and the fear that once folks go to something like Samsung and Android they won't come back, particularly if they can, their eyes, get all the features of the iPhone for cheaper
If Apple's lawsuits are indeed about principle, why isn't Apple after Google, not Samsung?
I bet Tim would be happy to fund the US courts to speed up the cases before the points are too late and Scamsung had benefited from the delays to the tune of billions of dollars. It just might not look too good if they did and won...
I was thinking that maybe they could be really clever and sneaky and not put such creative effort into minimising their taxes and just pay more, then the govt might be slightly better able to improve resources that they would benefit from.
I guess all this stuff has it's place and time for the people who need it. I'm more impressed with the 3D printer that NASA is funding to replicate (like Star Trek) food.
Of course Apple has the right to defend patents. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why they are targeting Samsung - it's the biggest competitor. Having said that, though, what Google is doing with Google Now is pretty far ahead of Apple. I don't expect that to change, as Google is an information and search behemoth and Apple is the maker of the best damn tech hardware on the planet.
For me personally, Apple hardware and robust Google apps are the best of both worlds. :-)

The '604 patent that Apple would like to assert against the Google Now feature was already deemed not infringed by a US Appeals court several months ago in a preliminary injunction case Apple brought against the Galaxy Nexus and the Android Quick Search box. In addition it's also involved in a USPTO reexamination and may be invalid in whole or part. Apparently Apple wants to take another stab at it now that the feature has been changed to Google Now.

As Nelson would say, "Ha, ha."

And cut! Great, Ted, thanks; we'll use that sound byte if Apple ever starts to bully other companies.
