Apple loses twice in court; as Samsung and Motorola win cases


But Samsung and Motorola’s courtroom victories may be cold comfort this holiday season, with fourth quarter sales of iPhones now projected to hit 30 million, and iPad sales projected to hit 12 million. Apple’s robust sales may have played a part in last week’s ruling by a California district judge denying Apple’s request for a preliminary injunction against Samsung in the United States. Judge Lucy Koh noted that while Apple is likely to ultimately prove Samsung infringed on Apple’s design patents, the company has not proven that Samsung is causing irreparable harm to Apple by selling the Galaxy tablets and smartphones. If Apple does win the patent infringement case, Samsung will probably have to pay damages on the Galaxy products it has sold. Samsung is Apple’s strongest competitor in the smartphone market, and outsold the Cupertino company by a wide margin in the third quarter, before the introduction of the iPhone 4S.

The iPad and iPhone are looking much more successful in retail stores than in courtrooms, with Samsung and Motorola Mobility both scoring significant court victories against Apple this week. Australia’s High Court says Samsung will be able to sell its Galaxy 10.1 tablet this holiday season, dismissing an injunction that has kept the tablet off the Australian market since October. Apple claimed that the Galaxy 10.1 infringed upon its iPad 2 touch screen patent, but the court ruled in favor of Samsung, and is requiring Apple to pay all legal costs associated with the case.
A German court may ban sales of iPhones and iPads in that country after a judge found today that these devices infringe on a European patent belonging to Motorola Mobility. But Motorola will reportedly have to post a $133 million bond in order to secure an injunction.

Telefónica to deploy LTE in 2.6Ghz

Spain’s Telefónica announced LTE deployment at Mobile World Congress , saying it will use Alcatel Lucent’s LightRadio technology in the 2.6Ghz frequency band. Deployment is expected to begin in Chile and Brazil. According to the company, the service will provide download speeds of 100 Mbps, and between 40-60Mbps on upload. Telefónica explained that the difference in its deployment is that in the conventional deployment, radio base stations co-exist with 4G metro cells (small base stations incorporating antennas and radio) working on the same frequency and with no interference. During the announcement, Telefónica highlighted as the most significant feature the increased capacity to support 30 people browsing simultaneously with an average speed of 30Mbps. The telecom operator noted that the network supports speeds of up to 10 times those offered by the 3G network, with download speeds of 100Mbps, upload speeds of 40-60 Mbps and with latency times of around 20-25 mi...
