This document provides an overview of the mobile operating systems landscape and the ongoing patent dispute between Apple and Samsung. It discusses the basics of operating systems, patents, and the market shares and relative strengths of platforms like Android, iOS, BlackBerry OS, Symbian and upcoming options like Windows Phone and Firefox OS. Specific details are provided on features and usage statistics for key players like Samsung, Apple, Nokia and others. Survey results suggest most users are aware of the Apple-Samsung lawsuits and prefer Android, with the Galaxy S series narrowing the success gap with iPhone.

12. Patents
⢠A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a sovereign state to
an inventor or their assignee for a limited period of time, in
exchange for the public disclosure of the invention. An invention is
a solution to a specific technological problem, and may be a
product or a process. Patents are a form of intellectual property.
⢠The exclusive right granted to a patentee in most countries is the
right to prevent others from making, using, selling, or distributing
the patented invention without permission.
⢠Typically, however, a patent application must include one or more
claims that define the invention. These claims must meet relevant
patentability requirements, such as novelty and non-obviousness.
13. Legal frame work of patents
⢠Under the World Trade Organization's (WTO) Agreement
on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights,
patents should be available in WTO member states for any
invention, in all fields of technology,and the term of
protection available should be a minimum of twenty
years. Nevertheless, there are variations on what is
patentable subject matter from country to country.
⢠The grant and enforcement of patents are governed by
national laws, and also by international treaties, where
those treaties have been given effect in national laws.
Patents are granted by national or regional patent offices.
A given patent is therefore only useful for protecting an
invention in the country in which that patent is granted.
14. Legal framework of patents-2
⢠Commonly, a nation forms a patent office
with responsibility for operating that nation's
patent system, within the relevant patent
laws. The patent office generally has
responsibility for the grant of patents, with
infringement being the remit of national
courts.
15. Pros of patents
⢠Patents provide incentives for economically efficient research and
development (R&D).
⢠In accordance with the original definition of the term "patent," patents
facilitate and encourage disclosure of innovations into the public domain
for the common good. If inventors did not have the legal protection of
patents, in many cases, they would prefer or tend to keep their
inventions secret
⢠In many industries (especially those with high fixed costs and either low
marginal costs or low reverse engineering costs â computer processors,
and pharmaceuticals for example), once an invention exists, the cost of
commercialization (testing, tooling up a factory, developing a market,
etc.) is far more than the initial conception cost. (For example, the
internal "rule of thumb" at several computer companies in the 1980s
was that post-R&D costs were 7-to-1). Unless there is some way to
prevent copies from competing at the marginal cost of production,
companies don't invest in making the invention a product.
16. Cons of patents
⢠Patents reward and ABET misplaced pharmaceutical
R&D priorities, which they describe as being directed
to creating incremental improved treatments for
diseases prevalent in wealthy countries and away
from diseases that cause devastation in the
developing world.
⢠Increases prices across the spectrum due to the
addition of royalties to all cost prices
⢠in case of ground breaking or revolutionary
inventions they allow a single company to dominate
the market in a way a kin to a monopoly
17. Patent infringement
⢠Patent infringement is the commission of a
prohibited act with respect to a patented
invention without permission from the
patent holder. Permission may typically be
granted in the form of a license. The
definition of patent infringement may vary by
jurisdiction, but it typically includes using or
selling the patented invention
18. Common defences used in
infringement cases
⢠In response to allegations of infringement, an accused infringing
party will generally assert one or more of the following:
⢠it was not practicing the patented invention;
⢠it was not performing any infringing act in the territory covered by
the patent;
⢠the patent has expired;
⢠the patent (or the particular claim(s) alleged to be infringed) is
invalid, because the invention in question does not meet
patentability or includes a formal defect, rendering the patent
invalid or unenforceable;
⢠it has obtained a license under the patent;
⢠the patent holder is infringing patent rights belonging to the
accused infringing party, and the party may resolve the dispute in
settlement or cross-licensing.

33. Comparison Conclusions
⢠The latest update to each platform offers its
own improvements, but Android 4.1 offers a
clear advantage in two key areas: voice
recognition services and maps.
⢠In the end, however, the song remains the
same: Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) offers more
features and greater customization, while iOS
6 keeps things simple and is easier to
navigate.
34. We performed a survey and the
following are our results after analysis
⢠80 % of the people surveyed said they were AWARE of the current patent
dispute between Apple and Samsung. The patent disputes are now a big
issue in the world of technology.
⢠70% chose ANDROID as the mobile operating system they would want to
use. Android still dominates as the first preference for mobile users.
⢠When asked if the Galaxy S Series of Samsung diluted the success of the
iPhone, 60 percent said YES. The success of Galaxy S2 and S3 helped
Samsung become the #1 seller of mobile phones, overtaking Apple.
⢠Although 70 % of those surveyed said that Apple has NOT lost its brand value
after the death of Steve Jobs. People still believe in the âinnovation drivenâ
Apple that created the amazing iPad and iPhone.
⢠Amongst Samsung Galaxy S3, Apple iPhone 5 and Nokia Lumia 920, 70%
users would choose to buy an S3. The reason is the amazing user
experience, the great Android OS and Samsungâs larger screens. This led to
S3 becoming the largest selling phone of 2012.
