http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2016/10/slie-to-unlock.jpgA longstanding lawsuit between Apple and Samsung over "Slide to Unlock" may be headed to the Supreme Court (https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docketfiles/16a823.htm) of the United States.
Samsung has until March 29 to file a petition for a writ of certiorari, aka a request for Supreme Court review, per FOSS Patents (http://www.fosspatents.com/2017/02/samsung-is-**w-taking-second-apple-v.html).
If it accepts the case, the Supreme Court will review the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit's decision to reinstate Apple's $119.6 million award (https://www.macrumors.com/2016/10/07/apple-vs-samsung-120m-award-reinstated/) last October.
Apple successfully argued that Samsung copied its patents related to slide to unlock, autocorrect, and phone number detection.
The lawsuit is so old that Apple does **t even use "Slide to Unlock" anymore. Unlocking an iPhone on iOS 10 (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-10/) requires using Touch ID (https://www.macrumors.com/roundup/touch-id/) or pressing down on the Home button, which first brings up the passcode screen if you have one enabled. Swiping to the right **w brings up a collection of Lock screen widgets.
This case is **t to be confused with a**ther 2011 lawsuit in which Apple accused Samsung of copying the iPhone's design with its own Galaxy-branded smartphones. That larger case made it all the way to the Supreme Court (https://www.macrumors.com/2016/12/06/supreme-court-rules-in-samsungs-favor/) and is **w headed back to the same San Jose district court (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/02/07/apple-vs-samsung-returns-to-lower-court/) where it began for a possible damages retrial.
