OPENING

1.1 Understanding of Copyright

copyright is a law that gives you ownership over the things you create. be it a
programmer, a painting, or a poem, if you created it, you own it and it is the
copyright law itself that assure that ownership. the ownership that copyright law
grants come with several rights that you, as the owner, those rights include :
1. the right to reproduce the work
2. to prepare derivative works
3. to distribute copies
4. to perform the work
5. and to display the work publicy
figure 1. 1 copyright
these are your rights and your rights alone. unsless you willingly give them up
(example : a creative common license ) no one can violate them legally.this means
that, unless you say otherwise, no one can perform a piece written by you or make
copies of it. even with attribution, unless you give the OK.
so how do we obtain copyright protection ? in the most countries, copyright
protection is automatic, this means whenever you publis original content it is
automatically protected by copyright law. for example : if you post a blog or
jurnal on the internet, your content is automatically covered by copyright.in the
most cases, the copyright protection is all that is necessary. However, if you want
to share with the others.
and then if you are breaking a copyright like plagiarism, the owner can make
a sued to yo. for example Samsung versus apple lawsuit. in the sued of apple,
Apple sued over Samsung's duplication of a handful of distinctive iPhone features
for which Apple holds patents: the flat screen, the rounded rectangle shape of the
phone, and the layout of icons on the screen. and apple was winning the verdict.

 CHAPTER II
APPLE VERSUS SAMSUNG

2.1. Smartphone
Smartphones are the new breed of mobile phone that have multiple similar to
those you might expect from a regular computer. Apple’s iPhone is the most
popular for example, with over 100 million handsets sold by 2011, but
competitors like Samsung are catching up fast. Almost every mobile phone you
can buy now will have some sort of smartphone capability.
2.2. Samsung and Apple
Both Samsung and Apple are the best company in department Smartphone. they
are always launching a new product every years. but at 2011, apple sued samsung,
the case is remarkable for several reason, not least because Samsung is one of
Apple component supplier : the Korean manufactures everything from DRAM
and SSDs for MacBook Pros to the A4 and A5 processors in the iPhone, iPod
Touch, Apple TV, and iPad. that relationship doesn’t seem to have softened
Apples tone: the company complaint frankly says “ instead of pursuising
independent product development, samsung has choosen to symphatically copy
apple’s innovative technology, special user interface and elegant and special
product and packaging desaign, in infringement of Apple’s valuable intellectual
property rights.

so what kind of infringement that make an Apple sued a Samsung ?

it was starting, since, Samsung did plagiarism. Apple originally sued Samsung in
the spring of 2015, just one of many cases at that time in the comprehensive
smartphone patent wars. in 2012, a court found in Apple’s favor. judging that
Samsung had infringed the company patents. for feature such as multitouch
gestures and tap to zoom. Apple asked for $2.5 billion in damages and was
awarded just over $1 billion, but various appeals from both parties have bounced

this figure back and forth over the years. with Samsung moaning it down to $930
million and the $548 million in may 2015, this the figure it has now agreed to pay.

2.3. The Procces of Apple Lawsuit

figure 2. 2 Apple’s Company

The world’s top smartphone rivals have been in court over patents since 2011,
when Apple filed a lawsuit alleging that Samsung’s smartphones and tablets
“slavishly” copied its products. Samsung was found liable in a 2012 trial, but a
disagreement over the amount to be paid led to a retrial over damages.
Arguments in the retrial ended last Friday.
Samsung previously paid Apple $399 million to compensate Apple for
infringement of some of the patents at issue in the case. If the verdict is upheld on
appeal, Samsung will be required to make an additional payment to Apple of
nearly $140 million. On the other hand, Samsung lost every part of its case against
Apple the jury ruled that none of the Apple devices in the case infringe Samsung's
patents, including patents that are part of the 3G networking standard. The only
major decisions that went to Samsung were related to the iPad — the jury didn't
think Samsung's tablets copied the iPad's design. Perhaps most importantly, the
jury ruled that many of Samsung's infringements were "willful" — that is, the
company deliberately copied Apple's patents. That's how they got to that $1.051
billion damage award; they punished Samsung for doing it on purpose.
There is no way to interpret this as anything but a sweeping, definitive victory for
Apple.

3
The company spent most of the past month telling the jury that the iPhone was a
revolution five years in the making, and that Samsung had taken just three months
to copy it, without bearing any of the costs or risks involved. The jury clearly
agreed and most importantly, the jury agreed that all of Apple's patents are valid,
even after Samsung spent hours trying to demonstrate previous art.

2.4. In The End of The Lawsuit

since then, a series of appeals have kept the case moving through federal court in
California, resulting in a string of retrial attempts from Samsung that Ultimately
were intended at trying to further reduce Apple’s monetary award. one of two
final case between the tech giants concluded in November of last years, mention
to the IOS slide-to-unlock patent and resulting in award of $120 million to Apple.
now with damages decided on this final case, itself a version of the
original $1 billion Apple patent win from 2012 that has been these two compnies
should be nearing a close

CLOSING

from the description on above we could conclusion such as :

1. if you want to do some research for your device and you are doing with a
journal. and that journal already success, you must aske with the creator.
2. more carefully in imitate a product already famous.
3. always get a permission first, if you want to take a piece of part that
product, otherwise you will get to sued.
