Samsung passes the buck to Google for alleged Apple patent violations
http://c2.bgr.com/2012/07/samsung-an...bgr.jpeg?w=610Samsung has apparently come up with a new strategy to get Apple to stop beating it up for $1 billion patent verdicts: Pass the buck to Google. NPR reporter Laura Sydell reports that Samsung attorney John Quinn argued during his*opening remarks in the latest patent trial with Apple that "all the software on its [Galaxy Nexus] phone*was created by Google" and that this software "is used by a lot of companies," **t just Samsung. Quinn went on to argue that Apple's real beef is with Google and that its real target is every Android-based device **w on the market. San Jose Mercury News reporter Howard Mintz comments that Samsung is "clearly going to use Google as this gi**rmous tech shield against Apple's patent claims." Apple, for its part, seemed to want ** part of bringing Google into the discussion and its attorneys said during their opening remarks that it was Samsung, **t Google, that was selling and making money from smartphones that allegedly violate Apple's patents.
