Samsung Galaxy S3 Launches in Europe but in the USA Frivolous Use of Trivial Patents to Avoid Market Competition as Apple Sues to have the Smartphone Banned in the USA

The frivolous use of patents to try to keep companies from facing free market competition continues....

Dante D'Orazio has the story at the Verge in Apple asks judge for ban on Galaxy S III before US launch because of alleged patent infringing "similarities".

The reason for the patent law suit actually has a lot to do with the fact that Samsung on Tuesday launched the Galaxy S III in Europe, where the entire Galaxy line has been rightly leaving overpriced and overhyped Apple products in the dust, as savvy and informed Europeans are making smartphone purchase choices based on educated and informed decisions.

Miyoung Kim and Paul Sandle have the story for Reuters, writing inter alia in Samsung Galaxy S3 gets head start on rival iPhone:
"The smartphone, running on Google's Android operating system, boasts a 4.8-inch screen, one of the largest on smartphones ever, and much bigger than the 3.5-inch display on the iPhone 4S."
Similar? Perhaps to the deluded.
