Ondrej Holzman AbakwaSamsung bakopishe amalungelo obunikazi be-Apple kweminye yemishini yabo futhi kufanele bakhokhele i-Apple izigidi ezingu-119,6 zamadola (imiqhele eyizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-2,4) ngayo. Lesi yisinqumo sejaji elikhulu ngemva kwenyanga yokuqulwa kwamacala kanye nokwethula ubufakazi ingxabano yelungelo lobunikazi phakathi kwe-Apple ne-Samsung. Kodwa-ke, umkhiqizi we-iPhone uphinde wephula elinye lamalungelo obunikazi aqhudelana naye, okumele akhokhe u-$158 (imiqhele eyizigidi ezingu-400).
Ijaji elinamajaji ayisishiyagalombili enkantolo yombuso yaseCalifornia likhiphe isinqumo sokuthi imikhiqizo eminingana yakwaSamsung yephule amalungelo amabili obunikazi amahlanu i-Apple eyayiwamangalela, futhi yahlola nokulimala okuthile engxenyeni yesithathu yawo. Yonke imikhiqizo esolwayo yenkampani yaseNingizimu Korea yephule ilungelo lobunikazi le-'647 kuzixhumanisi ezisheshayo, kodwa ukusesha kwendawo yonke kanye namalungelo obunikazi okuvumelanisa angemuva awaphulwanga, ngokusho kwejaji. Kulungelo lobunikazi lika-'721, elimboza idivayisi yokuvula isilayidi, inkantolo ithole imikhiqizo ethile kuphela ephuliwe.
Ilungelo lobunikazi lokugcina elinombhalo wokubikezela ngenkathi uthayipha kukhibhodi likopishwe ngamabomu ngabakwaSamsung, ngakho-ke kuzodingeka futhi ikhokhele isinxephezelo ku-Apple ngakho. Ngokuphambene nalokho, bekufanele asebenzise ngokungenhloso elinye lamalungelo obunikazi amabili akwa-Samsung emishinini yakhe ye-Apple, yingakho inhlawulo yakhe iphansi kakhulu.
Kodwa-ke, ngisho ne-Samsung akudingeki ukuthi ikhokhe kakhulu ngenxa yalokho. U-Apple ummangalele ngemali engaphezu kwezigidigidi ezimbili zamaRandi, azogcina ethole ingxenye encane kuphela. AbakwaSamsung babonakala bephumelele enkantolo ngengxabano yabo mayelana nokungabi nalusizo kwamalungelo obunikazi ahanjisiwe. Abantu baseNingizimu Korea bathi bakweleta i-Apple imali efinyelela ku-$38 million yamalungelo obunikazi, futhi baze bafuna imali engaba yizigidi eziyisi-XNUMX kuphela kulowo oqhudelana naye ngamagunya abo amabili obunikazi.
Isamba semali okuzodingeka siyikhokhe i-Samsung kulindeleke ukuthi sishintshe kancane ngemva kokutholakala ukuthi ijaji alizange libe nesandla ekwephuleni kwe-Galaxy S II ilungelo elilodwa lobunikazi esinqumweni sayo, futhi iJaji u-Koh layala ukuthi konke kulungiswe. Kodwa-ke, inani eliwumphumela akufanele lishintshe kakhulu uma liqhathaniswa nenani lamanje elicishe libe ngamaRandi ayizigidi eziyi-120. Iningi lale mali - elinganiselwa ezigidini ezingu-99 zamaRandi - litholakala kumalungelo obunikazi ngaphandle kwalawo angazange afakwe.
Yize u-Apple ephuma enkantolo njengowinile ngemuva kwamasonto ambalwa, eCupertino babekholelwa ukuthi bazothola isinxephezelo esithe xaxa. Njengaku-Twitter waphawula omunye wababukeli, i-Apple izothola imali eningi kwaSamsung njengoba yenze emahoreni ayisithupha engxenyeni yokugcina. Kodwa-ke, impi yelungelo lobunikazi yayingekhona ngokuyinhloko ngasohlangothini lwezezimali lwalolu daba. I-Apple ngokuyinhloko ibifuna ukuvikela impahla yayo yengqondo nokuqinisekisa ukuthi abakwaSamsung ngeke besakwazi ukukopisha okuqanjiwe. Ngokuqinisekile uzophinde azame ukuvimbela ukuthengiswa kwemikhiqizo enophawu lwe-Samsung, kodwa ngeke aluthole kuJaji u-Kohová. Isicelo esinjalo sesivele senqatshiwe kabili.
Ngakho-ke nakuba imizwa ye-Apple ingase ixubene, esitatimendeni sayo Ikhodi / ikhodi Umphakathi waseCalifornia wasishayela ihlombe isinqumo senkantolo: “Sibonga ijaji nenkantolo ngomsebenzi wabo. Isinqumo sanamuhla sigcizelela lokho izinkantolo emhlabeni wonke esezikutholile kakade: ukuthi i-Samsung yebe imibono yethu ngamabomu futhi yakopisha imikhiqizo yethu. Silwela ukuvikela umsebenzi onzima esiwenza emikhiqizweni ethandwayo njenge-iPhone abasebenzi bethu abazinikele kuyo izimpilo zabo."
Abamele i-Samsung ne-Google, ababehileleke ngokungaqondile kulo lonke icala - ikakhulukazi ngenxa yesistimu yokusebenza ye-Android - abakakaphawuli ngalesi sinqumo. Ku-Samsung, nokho, cishe bazokwaneliseka ngenani lesinxephezelo. Imali engu-$119,6 million ngeke ibavimbe ekwenzeni iminyakazo eminingi njengale asebeyenza kuze kube manje. Ngaphezu kwalokho, lesi samba siphansi kakhulu kunalokho okwadingeka i-Samsung ikukhokhe ngemuva kwengxabano yokuqala yelungelo lobunikazi, lapho isinxephezelo sifinyelela cishe amadola ayizigidi eziyinkulungwane.
"ngokubikezela umbhalo njengoba uthayipha kukhibhodi" - ingabe leli ihlaya?
