Sharp slaps Samsung with LCD patent infringement lawsuit

As if the cutthroat price wars in the LCD space weren't demanding enough, Samsung is now being forced to attend to a lawsuit that Sharp just filed over LCD patent infringement. Reportedly, Sharp is seeking "compensation as well as the prohibition of sales of products that it alleges infringe five of its LCD patents, including one that relates to technology used to enhance display quality." The products in question include Samsung televisions and monitors as well as mobile handsets that feature Samsung's LCD modules. Unsurprisingly, Samsung refused to comment on pending litigation, but a Sharp spokeswoman went so far as to say that it had "been in talks with Samsung, but it appeared difficult to solve the matter through negotiations," which apparently led to a lawsuit being filed. So much for talking things out, eh?

You dont want to do business with them koreans, especially when you have to teach them the technology.
'cause they WILL turn around and bit you in the ass.



The next thing you know, they will say The Simpsons is their creation.

Micklol, I need to add my 2cents here. While I never do intent to insult or diss anyone here, but dude, from your comment, you act like a little kid. If you think you are smart, or wise, then show by adding some valid comments rather than your own 1-second out-rage opinions.
It's the Jap dudes that imitate others and claims to be their own. Go learn some histories. I bet you don't even know why Atomic bomb was dropped in Japan, because Japan claims that they are the victim. No? Go watch *any* (popular) Jap related Atomic bombs, why no one admits that they did wrong (in the very first place)? you won't find any, unless you go watch National Geography articles or History Channel, (which obviously you will fall into sleep because you are too kid to watch). Lol, Or, do you even hear Germans saying that they are the victims of the war in WW1/2 ? Hardly, because at least they are freaking gentle, admits and STFU queietly. Honestly sir, go Learn the truth.
As for IT tech issues, its nothing, these lawsuits happen everywhere, every second.
It just 'happened' to be LCD issue, and happened to be under IT tech.
"...'cause they WILL turn around and bit you in the ass..." This is the BUSINESS you kid. Go learn some serious business yourself. You thought Jap companies did not copy or backstap anyone? Lol, you are in the wrong planet. Every company do the similar strategies doing business, either by adding patents, copy/reverse engineering/hire new crews/intership from the *previous* company, or even coincise. In fact, if you look at a little closer, all technologies are the same. If one has it, the other (will) has it, too. The only problem (actually more complex) for these business ppl are, 'how to maximize the rev.' either by claiming for patent tech, or marketing, etc.
And yes, next thing ppl know is,, people like you will believe that sir. Billy Gaty is the God of America and Owner of all American business. Ain't I correct from your perspective?
