T-Mobile Defends Samsung against Apple
T-Mobile is publicly supporting Samsung pertaining to their legal issues with Apple. A legal brief filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission by T-Mobile, is in reference to Samsung and Apple’s issues with smart phone development. The statement released in part by T-Mobile states “While T-Mobile respects intellectual property rights and believes that owners of intellectual property deserve the right to present their arguments and evidence of infringement in court, a preliminary injunction is a drastic and extraordinary measure, and the courts should pay particular attention to its public consequences,” Verizon Wireless publicly backed Samsung, declaring “that a ban against Samsung would hurt its sales and its ability to deploy its Long Term Evolution 4G network”. Apple and Samsung have a history of legal proceedings regarding the ever mounting growth of smart hone patents across the globe.
