SAN FRANCISCO, April 18 (Xinhua) -- Apple Inc. has sued Samsung Electronics(电子) Co. over patent infringement1 in a latest suit, U.S. media reported Monday.
The suit, filed last Friday in U.S. District Court in Northern California, alleged2 that Samsung's smartphones, such as "Glaxy S 4G" and "Nexus3 S," and the Galaxy4 line of tablet computers violated Apple's patent and trademark5, according to All Things Digital, a technology and startup company news site.
"It's no coincidence that Samsung's latest products look a lot like the iPhone and iPad, from the shape of the hardware to the user interface6 and even the packaging," the report quoted an Apple representative as saying.
Intellectual property suits can be often seen among mobile computing7 rivals, including suits between Microsoft and Motorola, a suit by Oracle8 against Google, and Apple's patent dispute with Nokia and HTC.
Although Samsung supplies chips for a number of Apple products, Apple CEO Steve Jobs once openly mocked Samsung and other tablet makers9 as "copycats" during the iPad2 launch. Last month, Apple is reportedly partnering with China's Taiwan Semiconductor10 Manufacturing Co. to make iPad chips.(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
