Samsung Galaxy S III: The first mobile phone designed by a lawyer

The first mobile phone, designed by a lawyer, mentions the appearance of Samsung Galaxy S III, which is a matter of opinion, and it completely changes the style of the Samsung Galaxy phone, how is it designed from Samsung's studios? It's not really a design studio from Samsung. Where this form is designed, the sign on the door is the Samsung Legal Advisory office. Yes, it was actually designed by lawyers. In a sense, Galaxy III is a product that Samsung's legal advisers are dreaming of. A friend might ask, "Why is this?" It's really simple, let's start a retrospective trip, starting April 18, 2011, when Apple announces a round-corner rectangular appearance patent. It must have been remembered for nearly a year of patent contention between Apple and Samsung, and the commercial appearance (mini-advertisements dress) Patent was the weapon Apple used to sue Samsung. The so-called commercial appearance (mini-advertisements dress) refers to the overall image or overall appearance of the product, which can encompass the combination of size, shape, color or color, structure, graphics, etc. Just as a registered trademark (trademark) protects a product's name or logo, the commercial appearance (mini-advertisements dress) can provide patent protection for the product's shape design, and Apple is relying on this to announce to Samsung that your phone is too much like ours, ready to be sued. In April 2011, Apple's mini-advertisements dress for Samsung Tort claims was roughly as follows: 1 A rectangular device with rounded corners. 2 front panel with screen as the main part, surrounded by a black border. 3 on devices like the iphone and ipod Touch, the width of the wider black border on the screen is almost equal and the width of the narrower black border is almost equal. 4 on devices like the ipad, the width of the black border is almost equal. 5 metal frame around the device for four weeks. 6 The icon is displayed on the screen with a grid, the icon has a consistent fillet, and a line of icons on the bottom of the screen does not move as the screen interface slides. A few of the above show that other vendors can not imitate the shape of the design, but the single one is not related, but if you design the phone to meet all of the above description, then Apple's legal advisor will come to knock your door. These patents, which once burned Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy S II, have been largely circumvented in the design of S III, and the overall design of the Galaxy S III has largely not offended Apple. Why does Samsung care about Apple so much, the first is of course the legal restrictions, followed by Apple is one of Samsung's largest customers, of course, not in the mobile phone market, but in the parts market, Apple will buy a lot of Samsung produced CPU, memory, flash, monitor, etc., if annoyed this big customer Samsung is unbearable. Take the iphone 4., about 25% of the cost of the parts belongs to Samsung. There is no doubt that Samsung's purse will become more and more full, so no matter how the iphone or Galaxy lawsuit ends, Samsung will not suffer. Now that you understand why Galaxy S III is designed by lawyers, let's analyze the specification of mini-advertisements dress to see if the Galaxy S III is really obedient.
