Apple and Samsung have finished their slinging match in the Federal Court for today — they’ll be back in a week or so to continue — and what we’ve learnt is that Apple have dropped 6 patents from their claim, after negotiating with Samsung. There are still 4 patents that Apple claims Samsung is infringing upon and wants this sorted out before Samsung even thinks of selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 here.
3 of Apple’s 4 patents in question are: (2005246219) The manufacture of a capacitive touch screen; (2008258177) Selective rejection of inadvertent finger movements on a touch screen; (2007286532) Correcting a person’s finger movements when scrolling vertically on a screen. Samsung have said they’ll make 10 changes to the Galaxy Tab 10.1 before it launches here. More after the break.
Samsung’s 10 proposed changes include..
- Placement of their logo on the front of the device
- Seven user interface features removed (they’re not listed, except for one: The bouncing animation upon zooming on an icon or document)
- A hardware and software change (once again, no specifics)
