Basically, Apple feels that Samsung is infringing on a variety of <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/iphone/">iPhone</a> and <a href="http://osxdaily.com/category/ipad/">iPad</a> patents, and Apple is fairly blunt in their accusations:</p> <blockquote><p>“Instead of pursuing independent product development, Samsung has chosen to slavishly copy Apple’s innovative technology, distinctive user interfaces, and elegant and distinctive product and packaging design, in violation of Apple’s valuable intellectual property rights.” </p></blockquote> <p>Several examples of these alleged violations can be seen in the image below, judge for yourself:</p> <p><span id="more-21811"></span> <img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/why-apple-suing-samsung.jpg" alt="Why Apple is Suing Samsung in an Image" title="why-apple-suing-samsung" width="620" height="5568" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-21812" /></p> <p>The “inspiration” is really quite obvious, but whether or not it’s enough for Apple to win a lawsuit against Samsung (or others) remains to be seen.
