SAMSUNG LATEST PRODUCT | SAMSUNG LATEST UPDATES| Samsung Drops One of The Lawsuits Against Apple

However, it will continue to fight against Apple for other infringement suits.

In what would seem like a strange chain of events, Samsung has now dropped the lawsuit it had filed against Apple in California. This lawsuit was originally filed in response to latter's lawsuit claiming that the Galaxy range of smartphones and tablets are heavily inspired by its iPad and iPhone. Bloomberg reports that the incident took place on June 30. The source quoted Nam Ki Yung as saying that this move is to "streamline the legal proceedings". Yung is a spokesman for a company based in Suwon, South Korea.

However, this doesn't mean that Samsung is going on the back foot; the company will still fight the legal battle against Apple for patent rights, including a case it had filed in the same court in San Jose, California. Interestingly, Apple is Samsung's biggest customer, bringing in billions of dollars for the company. Reports claim that the Cupertino-based company is considering Taiwanese manufacturer TSMC to replace Samsung as its primary components manufacturer \ supplier. Its A6 chipset is coming out next year and Samsung apparently will not be making them. It must be noted that the Korean conglomerate would not be worried about how things pan out for them, because they are a larger corporation than Apple. Nevertheless, the transition will not leave it completely unscathed, though not to the extent of having sleepless nights.


samsung has a great reputation in the market.Apple had initiated the lawsuit stating design infringements by Samsung, which was later followed by both companies asking the court to grant them access to each other's prototype devices. However, the court favoured the former by granting them permission to see the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Tab 10.1, while denying the latter, permission to have a look at the iPhone 5 and the iPad 3. The reason for Samsung to withdraw the lawsuit still remains a mystery, and we will have to wait until Samsung makes an official statement.
