NEW DELHI: Apple and Samsung have presented their final lists of products that infringe their respective software patents for their upcoming trial. The two biggest smartphone makers in the world have submitted the lists that include names of products like iPhone 5, iPad 4, Galaxy Note II and Galaxy S III to the federal court of San Jose, California.</div>

<div class="float" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; clear: both; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 14px; height: 1px; line-height: 1px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">

Below is the list of all the devices that the two companies have named for the upcoming trial, scheduled for March 31, 2014:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Apple</strong> <strong style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Samsung</strong> Samsung Galaxy Note II Apple iPhone 5 Samsung Galaxy S III Apple iPhone 4S Samsung Galaxy Note Apple iPhone 4 Samsung Galaxy Nexus Apple iPad 4 Samsung Galaxy S II Apple iPad 3 Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Apple iPad 2 Samsung Galaxy Skyrocket Apple iPad mini Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch Apple iPod touch (5th generation) Samsung Galaxy Stratosphere Apple iPod touch (4th generation) Samsung Galaxy Admire Apple Macbook Air <br style="border: 0px; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Explaining the lack of newer models like iPhone 5S, 5C, Galaxy Note 3 and S4 from the respective lists, Foss Patents says, "The parties tried hard to accuse each other's latest and greatest products, but US patent litigation is slow, which is why this 2014 trial will be about 2012 and pre-2012 products."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
In April 2013, Judge Lucy Koh asked the two companies to reduce the number of patent violation claims and infringing products that the jury will have to consider during the trial. Both companies are now allowed to stake infringement claims to five patent and 10 products during the trial. For each patent, they are allowed to choose one infringement claim.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Samsung recently lost a patent claim in the US and was left with only four patents that Apple is allegedly infringing. Thus, the South Korean juggernaut has claimed two counts of violation for one of the patents, while the remaining three patents have only one claim attached. This is "typically not nearly as useful as a whole additional patent, but better than nothing," according to Foss Patents.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Apple, on the other hand, has claimed one count of infringement for each of its five patents.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: Georgia; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Below is the list of patent claims by the two companies:</div>

1.

Considering the rise in Samsung's sales in the past few years, Foss Patents estimates that the damage claims should still remain quite high in this case, despite the absence of any design patents. In two earlier trials centred on design patents, Apple has (jointly) been awarded a sum of $929 million over Samsung's patent violation.</div>

Samsung’s Galaxy S4 gives users an options overload over Apple's iPhone 5

Unknown 0 Apple, Apple iPhone 5, Gadgets, iPhone, iPhone 5, Samsung, Samsung Galaxy, Samsung Galaxy S4, Smartphone, Technology 8.1.14

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The Galaxy S4, the fastest-selling Android in history, gives users plenty to try out, from several camera features to an "air gesture" sensor. If you like a lot of flashy options, the phone may be a better fit for you.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
he Samsung Galaxy S4 (l.), the fastest-selling Android of all time since its April debut, is taking on Apple’s popular iPhone 5.<br />
If bigger is better, Samsung’s Galaxy S4 dwarfs arch-rival the iPhone 5.<br />
<br />
But when deciding which smartphone is worth the price, consider more than size. Personality counts, too.<br />
<br />
Do you prefer an overload of options, or is a simpler experience more your speed?<br />
<br />
While Tech Guru founder Daniel Moshe says the iPhone 5 continues Apple’s tradition of an easy-to-use device that “you can’t screw up,” Samsung’s flagship smartphone is all about stirring the senses.<br />
<br />
“It’s striking. It’s really impressive,” said Moshe, who runs a Minneapolis-based IT support company. “They’ve come a long way from making these ugly plastic things to a sharper-looking phone.”<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
J.K. Shin, president of Samsung, shows off the new Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone at Radio City Music Hall.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Galaxy S4, which Samsung announced last week is the fastest-selling Android phone in history, bills itself as a “life companion.” As an evolved version of its predecessor, the Galaxy S III, this upgrade has Google’s latest Android OS, a thinner design with a larger 5-inch screen and a 13-megapixel rear camera.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Compared to the iPhone 5’s 8 megapixels, pics on the Galaxy S4 appear more vibrant and with a better zoom function. There’s also a 2-megapixel front camera that allows you to simultaneoulsy snap a picture of yourself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You can also take pics with a voice command or employ an “eraser” mode to wipe out blurry parts of an image.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Other unique features include a sensor software that reads your eye movement — web pages scroll automatically and videos pause when you look away from the screen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And as another add-on, the phone has an “air gesture” option. If you hover your finger over a part of the screen, it magnifies that area, or you can wave your hand above the device to answer a call or swipe through the phone’s picture gallery.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But indulging your inner Jedi takes some getting used to, and only seems practical if you’re in the middle of eating.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKFMQZwGTAL5i3UetAB-EDSuVjQRC0jVsFQkuGJfnxO6QJAGEF13vXLv2maUdEyPQo573a_EsVXUo7yzIzfVwwcxoaCmKVlSlv9Wm4MdoCu9YlUdNY_tShsM-TVRS2br8jb78nYFEsmfEc/s1600/article-samsung3-0314.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="211" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKFMQZwGTAL5i3UetAB-EDSuVjQRC0jVsFQkuGJfnxO6QJAGEF13vXLv2maUdEyPQo573a_EsVXUo7yzIzfVwwcxoaCmKVlSlv9Wm4MdoCu9YlUdNY_tShsM-TVRS2br8jb78nYFEsmfEc/s1600/article-samsung3-0314.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone features touch-free control, which allows users to maneuver apps by hovering their fingers over them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall, the phone takes into consideration that you’re probably a multitasker. A “multi window” option allows you to toggle between your Gmail, web browser and other apps without exiting those programs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And if you’re a fan of accessories, the phone is compatible with Samsung’s TecTiles 2, which uses the NFC (Near Field Communications) technology. The TecTiles are square stickers used to auto launch an app or change the phone’s settings whenever you hold the Galaxy S4 over it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For instance, you can stick a TecTile tag in your car and program it to open Google Maps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Or simply, open apps with your voice.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not to be outsmarted by the iPhone’s voice-activated personal assistant, Siri, the Galaxy S4 has its own worthy nemesis — Google Now.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The feature automatically alerts you to real-time traffic, weather updates and news stories you might want to share based on your preferences.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With so many bells ‘n whistles to sort out, the phone provides a lot of flash, which is good — as long as it suits your personality.</div>
