Apple has cast olive to the Android camp by Opening patent authorization
In March 7th, Apple and Mobile Equipment Manufacturers in a multi-line kicked off the patent war, which requires the ban, prohibit the sale of its products. However, according to sources, Apple would like to reduce litigation with its competitors.
Some sources leaked info, Apple has submitted a motion to to Motorola, Samsung mobile trying to reconcilize some pending litigation, and the condition is the rivals get Apple's patent licensing and Cover version costs.
It was not a new strategy, according to a recent lawsuit according to court documents, in proceedings before the start, Apple has been associated with Samsung and other business negotiations.
A person familiar with the matter disclosed, the apple is not intended to license to all competitors, and Apple is not willing to establish a copyright business.
However, some sources said, apple considered to solve problems by law that causes more questions. Before, for the Android system, apple in legal proceedings have wins and also failures . Apple did not directly sued Google, but aimed at manufacturers, while manufacturers used their patent to fight against apple.
One source said, thus there is a reason for apple, Android will not be driven out of the market with the rapid growth through the ban, and it is not practical. Authorization is an alternative, which can increase Android development cost, making the system less attractive to manufacturers.
An informed source said, in a negotiation, for some patents, apple opponent pays each 5-15 dollars, accounting for about equipment net sales of 1-2.5%. Before, Motorola mobile requires apple to pay each device 2.25% patent fee.
No one source can determine the settlement negotiations are ongoing, but they say it is part of the process.
Apple founder Jobs died in October, the new strategy is out of step with Jobs's. In Jobs's biography, he claimed that he would rather run apple's every penny to fight against competitors to the end.
Apple has cash more than rivals, so there is no need to seek to empower the revenue. It looks like that apple is more willing to adhere to the legal battle, preventing opponents from product sales, or forcing competitors to modify product design, so that not to infringe the apple for patent.
In a number of lawsuits, Apple has said it has tried its best to stop the proceedings. Last year, apple told the Australian court, in the summer of 2010 Jobs and Samsung have negotiated, because both have the close relation. But in the Samsung released the first Android plate, the negotiations were brokendown.
Apple's legal opponents think, apple rather stubborn, is willing to. Involvement of Motorola, apple lawsuit two insider said, the German court had asked apple to submit many motion, the motion and obtained patents for motorola. Finally the court finds a suitable, before about 10 was rejected.
Apple's legal opponents think apple is rather stubborn, which is not willing to reconcilize. Two insiders involved of Motorola and apple lawsuit said, the German court had asked apple to submit many motions, the motions are about obtaining patents for motorola. Finally the court finds one suitable, and before, about 10 were rejected.
There exists big risks, for example, apple depends on Samsung manufacturing part of mobile devices, including a processor, a memory chip.
Message personage says, even if Apple wins the ban, which can ban a single product. It won't let apple in the legal battle off hands, because competitors have more different products for sale. With difference between opponents, Apple's sales mainly rely on the iPhone and iPad, any ban the opponent wins will cause more harm to Apple.
In addition, adopting the current strategy, how much advantage apple at the legal level can get is still difficult to assess. In the lawsuit, apple mainly through small patent prosecute opponents, and these patents related to the specific functions of products. For example, Softwares that can detect useful information, such as messages in the mobile phone number. Many of these functions can be removed, or modified, even if the court under the ban still can bypass continue to sell.
Unlike apple, apple's competitors have broader patents, these patents are considered the key of manufacturing a wireless communication device. Apple is angry to this, thinking that the opponent cannot use these patent application for an injunction.
However, the defenders can often use these patents successfully obtain a patent fee. Therefore, there is a possibility, that Apple made use of its patented as leverage to consultate, thus reducing the possibility of payment of patent fees" key".

Confirmed: iPad 3 Has a 2048x1536 Retina Display
Over the past couple of months, several photos of displays claimed to be for the iPad 3 have surfaced from various sources. Such parts leaks are typical with the device's expected debut early next month. While reports have claimed that these displays are high-resolution "Retina" displays, there has been no definite confirmation of these claims so far.
MacRumors has now been able to obtain one of these iPad 3 displays and examine it under a microscope in an effort to determine whether it is indeed an ultra-high resolution Retina display. Physically, the purported iPad 3 display is the same size as the current iPad 1 and iPad 2 display at 9.7" in diagonal, and looks quite similar to the naked eye.
However, when comparing the iPad 3 display to one from an iPad 2 under a microscope, the difference in resolutions becomes readily apparent, with the iPad 3 display's pixels appearing to be one-quarter the size of those on the iPad 2.
Since we only had a raw iPad 3 display with no method to power it, taking high quality photos of the pixels was difficult. Still, even with the relatively poor lighting, you can easily make out the pixels on each display (made up of red, green and blue elements). We highlighted a cluster of 4 pixels (2x2) from the iPad 2 to compare it to the same area on the iPad 3. On the iPad 3, the same cluster was occupied by 16 pixels (4x4) -- exactly twice the resolution in each direction.Extrapolating out, the iPad 3 screen should carry a full resolution of 2048x1536, exactly twice the linear resolution of the iPad 1 and iPad 2 which is 1024x768. Such a screen should be able to display much sharper images as compared to the previous generation iPads.
While these iPad 3 screens weren't directly sourced from Apple, they are labeled as OEM replacement parts for the iPad 3 and are apparently in mass production. The difficulties of any 3rd party in mass producing 2048x1536 9.7" Retina displays make us quite confident that these represent legitimate iPad 3 parts.
Apple is expected to introduce the iPad 3 with a media event on March 7, and the device is rumored to be carrying this high-resolution display, a new A6 system-on-a-chip, and LTE support for models with cellular data capabilities.
