Apple sues Samsung for copying iPhone and iPad design
Almaty. April 21. Kazakhstan Today - Apple is suing Samsung for copying iPhone and iPad design, Kazakhstan Today reports.
Apple is suing Samsung for 'slavishly copying' its iPhone and iPad designs, the Daily Mail reported.
The technology giant alleges Samsung's Galaxy line of smartphones and tablet computers has infringed its copyright.
Samsung copied Apple's product design, user interface and packaging, according to a lawsuit filed last Friday in the U.S. District Court in northern California.
Apple is seeking an order barring the South Korean company from infringing on a variety of its patents and trademarks, as well as unspecified damages.
'This kind of blatant copying is wrong,' Apple spokesperson Kristin Huguet said in a statement.
A Samsung spokesman said the company's products are the result of its own research and development.
Samsung plans to defend itself against Apple's lawsuit, he said.
Analysts said the legal action is aimed at keeping Apple's close rivals at bay.
Apple is just one participant in a web of litigation among phone makers and software firms over who owns the patents used in smartphones as rivals aggressively rush into the smartphone and tablet market which Apple kick-started with its iPhone and iPad.
Nokia and Apple have sued each other in numerous courts. As recently as last month Nokia filed a complaint with the U.S. trade panel alleging that Apple is infringing its patents in iPhones, iPads and other products.
Samsung is one of the fastest growing smartphone makers and has emerged as Apple's strongest competitor in the booming tablet market with models in three sizes - but it remains a distant second in the space.
Samsung's Galaxy products use Google's Android operating system, which directly competes with Apple's mobile software.
However, Apple's claims against Samsung focus on Galaxy's design features, such as the look of its screen icons, according to the lawsuit.
The firm is bringing 16 claims against Samsung, including unjust enrichment, trademark infringement and ten patent claims.
Apple said in court papers: 'Samsung has made its Galaxy phones and computer tablet work and look like Apple's products through widespread patent and trade dress infringement...
'By this action, Apple seeks to put a stop to Samsung's illegal conduct and obtain compensation for the violations that have occurred thus far.'

The main goal of the Musical Alliance project is the popularisation of national and world classics. Thanks to the implementation of such projects, outstanding works not only acquire fresh sound, but also attract new audiences, making it possible to introduce them to the younger generation, while maintaining a high standard of performing traditions. On such evenings, both well-known and rarely performed works acquire an interesting, vibrant life. National gems and world masterpieces can be performed by a different musical instrument or in an unexpected arrangement. It is important for us to convey the love of high art to those who have not yet been familiar with it, thereby initiating more and more people into the mysterious and wonderful world of music," the artists of the Astana Opera Orchestra shared.
