Remember those horror stories of fake Apple Stores in China that even fooled the employees of those stores into thinking that they were actually working for Cupertino? Well, it seems that the legal eagles at Apple has done quite the job in making sure they have the upper hand in China, by obtaining 40 patents in that part of the world which covers the iPad, iPhone and even retail stores. Yes sir, Apple has legal protection for its popular products now, so do expect many more cease and desist letters to be sent out to all those peddling fake Apple products (not only in China), before taking a sterner action.

It seems that these patents will cover 37 products, where it could also offer some semblance of protection for the iPad 2 3G that began to go on sale earlier today. Not only that, this might also mean the beginning of the end of fake Apple Stores, since the patents also cover Apple store architecture.

Just how far do you think Apple will go in eradicating fake products and misrepresentation of their image, and the extent where they intend to bring perpetrators to justice?

Verizon sides with Samsung against Apple

Despite stealing the iPhone exclusivity away from AT&T earlier this year, it looks like the Big Red carrier still has a high regard for Android devices. It has been reported that Verizon has sided with Samsung to fight against Apple. Just in case you haven’t been keeping abreast of what’s been going on – Apple has sued Samsung for allegedly copying the design of the iPhone and iPad, and wants to prevent the sale of certain Samsung devices here in the US.

Verizon has filed the necessary paperwork to the US District Court for the Northern District of California to ask for the denial of Apple’s injunction against US Samsung devices. Seeing how Verizon makes money selling a number of Samsung devices, the carrier’s revenue would be affected if Apple’s injunction goes through. Less devices would mean less choices, unhappy consumers, lost customers, and no growth. Seeing how it’s a nationwide ban – other carriers would be affected as well.

Props to Verizon for speaking up against this silly patent war, and hopefully the court makes the right decision. Since Verizon has taken the first stand, do you think the other carriers will stand up and intervene as well?

Samsung files injunction against iPhone 4S in France and Italy

It looks like Samsung is keeping true to their word, and less than 24 hours after the iPhone 4S has been announced, Samsung has already filed a preliminary injunction against the device in both France and Italy, citing the same reasons that they had in the past on how Apple had infringed upon their patents.

The company has also not ruled out the possibility of filing preliminary injunctions against the iPhone 4S in other countries. These patents that Samsung claims Apple has infringed upon have something to do with wireless technology, or to be more specific, the transferring of data via 3G being one of them. Both Apple and Samsung have attempted to reach some sort of licensing deal for Samsung’s patents, however Apple has claimed that the fees Samsung was asking for was too high.

Samsung has also attempted to reach out to Apple and offered them a deal that would let them sell their Galaxy Tab 10.1 Android tablet in Australia, which Apple similarly rejected. More on this as it develops.
