Apple Sued Again in China, This Time Over Siri Patent Infringement (thenextweb.com)

You cannot win with "IP" wars. The US started it, the Chinese will finish it.

The difference between the two is that China has not put all its economic eggs in the IP basket and their versions of cutting edge Western industries are only just beginning...

Also, what will be particularly interesting is how international organisations will be grossly abused in the coming decade, from the UN and ITU to WTO as well as how Western access to Chinese markets will adversely change.


It's going to be little hard for Apple to find much sympathy this time around.


They better hope Apple wins; otherwise, Samsung's S-Voice and various other vendor's attempts are going to become tempting targets. Apple's is likely just getting sued first because they're the richest.


Oh, I hope they win, but as Hamlet said, "for tis the sport to have the enginer, hoist with his own petar". No, the spelling is not wrong :-)


You're assuming that Apple definitely won't sue Samsung for S-Voice and other vendors' attempts.


The article features a picture of japanese phone screen.


Well to their credit at least it featured a few chinese characters.


The Chinese will take what you do, and do it better. This includes patent trolling.


Can they do a better banking bailout?


Yeah, http://www.reuters.com/article/2009/12/08/us-china-execution...

The entire bailout business is infuriating, coupled with no interest loans and now the LIBOR scandal, disruption needs to occur in the finance industry.


You reap what you sow.
