A Little Patent Humour For Your Wednesday
Above is a picture of a phone called the GooPhone which has been released in China. And if you’ve seen or heard anything about the upcoming IPhone, you know that this looks to be some sort of Android powered knock-off of the upcoming phone. Here’s the awesome part. Apparently, the manufacturer of the GooPhone plans to sue Apple in China if the upcoming IPhone looks like their GooPhone.
Now I’m not legal expert but from what I’ve been reading around the web, in China whoever releases first gets the rights to the design. And even though the IPhone has been leaked to no end, it will be second to the party. Which means that they will have copied the GooPhone.
Now I don’t know what will actually come of this proposed lawsuit, but I have to say I find it rather comical that even manufacturers seems a little cheesed off with Apple and their constant patent battles.
I’ll admit I’m a huge Android fan and a bit of a Apple…hater. But I simply appreciate all technology and I wish companies would stop suing and start innovating again. Why can’t we all just be friends.
