If you're looking for a succinct explanation of the court battles between Apple and Samsung, you've come to the right place. Here's a 97-second video illustration that outlines the entire scenario, showing you everything you need to know to be conversant about the clash between the two tech titans.
As Apple continues its fight against Samsung, alleging that the Korean company has infringed on seven of Apple's patents with 12 Samsung products, this might be just the beginning, with Apple putting Google in its sights for its next legal battle of this protracted copycat war.
While this video does an exemplary job of explaining the legal battle thus far, it's not a crystal ball. There are black clouds on the horizon. After all, in Steve Jobs, the authorized biography of Apple's CEO by Walter Isaacson, Jobs accused Google of "grand theft" of the iPhone, and vowed to turn the tables on Google:
“I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple’s $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I‘m going to destroy Android because it’s a stolen product. I’m willing to go to thermonuclear war on this. They are scared to death because they know they are guilty."
Do you think Apple will expand its lawsuits, bringing Google into the fray? What do you think will be the result? Or could further conflict be avoided by secret talks? Let us know in the comments.
