Buoyed by its recent success in the
court case against Samsung Electronics, in which it had accused the Korea based
company of copying its iPhone and iPad designs, Apple Inc.(NASDAQ:AAPL) has
added four more to the list of products in which its rival has infringed on
patents. This includes the Galaxy S III
smartphone.
On Friday, the Cupertino, California-based
company filed documents in the San Jose federal district court on Friday
requesting the judge to direct Samsung to pull these products released after
the filing of the April lawsuit.
So, according to Apple, 21 Samsung
products – 17 listed earlier and 4 added now – have copied Apple’s designs.

Samsung has not made any comment on this
new development.
Meanwhile, Internet Company Yahoo!
Inc.(NASDAQ:YHOO) has said that it supports free speech and privacy on the
Internet. This is in the backdrop of
China releasing a dissident who had been convicted on the basis of evidence
provided by the Sunnyvale, California based company. Wang Xiaoning has served a sentence of 10
years after Yahoo’s Hong Kong subsidiary which it fully owns, had supplied the
Chinese police information that linked him to various unnamed emails and
prodemocracy articles distributed through Yahoo groups.
This had led to Yahoo being the target
of stinging criticism and had been forced to apologize. It had even settled a lawsuit with the
involved families. The settlement amount
however, is not known.
Although Yahoo’s Saturday statement does
not specifically refer to this case, it does say that the company does not
support political suppression “wherever and however it occurs”.
