El Inkundla yeziBheno yaseMelika igwebe ngalo Lwesine ukuba iApple inelungelo lomyalelo wenkundla wokuba ingayinqanda iSamsung ekusebenziseni itekhnoloji yayo patent kwizixhobo zakho. Isigqibo sinakho inyanzelekile kumenzi waseKorea ukutshintsha amanqaku athile kwii-smartphones kunye neepilisi zabo.
Eyona nto isembindini walo mbandela Imisebenzi eyi-3 yesoftware iApple enelungelo elilodwa lomenzi wayo: ukuvula umnwe kwiscreen sesixhobo, la ulungiso oluzenzekelayo lweempazamo zopelokunye ikhonkco elikhawulezayo, evumela umsebenzisi ukuba enze izinto njengokucofa inombolo yefowuni ngaphakathi kokubhaliweyo ukwenza umnxeba.
I-Apple kunye ne-Samsung baye enkundleni malunga namalungelo abenzi afanayo kwihlobo elidlulileyo, kwaye bavuzwa $ 119.6 yezigidi ngomonakalo. Kodwa uMgwebi weNkundla yeSithili ye-Federal uLucy Koh wakhaba isicelo sokuvala izixhobo ezibandakanya ezi mpawu.
UApple akazange anikezele, waza wabhena kwisigwebo sikaKoh, yaye ngoLwesine iNkundla Yezibheno yamthethelela ngo-2-1.
I-Apple ayinakumisela ukuba ezi zinto zibangela ukuba abathengi bathenge iifowuni ze-Samsung endaweni yeefowuni ze-Apple. Kwanele nje ukuba iApple ibonakalise oko Ezi mpawu zazinxulumene nokuphulwa, kwaye kwakubalulekile kubathengi xa behlola iinketho zabo zokuthenga ifowuni.
Ukuphendula kwesi sigwebo, isithethi sika-Apple sikhuphe le ngxelo ilandelayo:
Sibulela kakhulu kwijaji kunye nenkundla ngenkonzo yabo. Isigwebo sanamhlanje sigxininisa oko sele kufunyenwe ziinkundla zehlabathi: oko AbakwaSamsung bazibile ngabom izimvo zethu y bakhuphela iimveliso zethu. Silwela ukukhusela umsebenzi onzima ongena kwiimveliso ezithandekayo njenge-iPhone, apho abasebenzi bethu banikezela ubomi babo ekuyileni nasekuhambiseni abathengi bethu.
Ku-Apple, ukufumana umyalelo wenkundla onje kuthetha okungakumbi kunokuhlawula imali (sikhumbula ukuba i-Apple inayo $ 200 yezigidigidi ebhankini). Ukusukela oko idabi lwayo lomthetho laqala ngo-2011, inkampani ibisoloko ibambelele kwelokuba injongo yayo yayikukunqanda i-Samsung ekukopeni itekhnoloji yayo, yiyo loo nto iye yaya enkundleni amaxesha amaninzi. Kwaye oko kuthetha ukuba i-Samsung ukusukela ngoku ukuya phambili, awukwazi ukusebenzisa ezi patent zintathu.
Ndicinga ukuba yindlela echanekileyo yokuqonda ukuba likhuselwa njani ilungelo lomenzi.
kunye nokuba ilungelo elilodwa lomenzi wechiza likhuselwe lilungelo elihambelana nalo.
