Samsung has sued Apple over its Notification Center in South Korea, according to a iNews24 report relayed by Brightwire.

Samsung Electronics has brought a lawsuit against Apple in a court in South Korea over its "Notification Center" patent infringement. Notification Center is a feature that shows all notifications, such as email, texts and weather, by touching and dragging down the top of an iPhone screen.

PatentlyApple believes that the delay in Samsung launching a lawsuit over Notification Center may have been due to notification patents filed by Google that were still pending. One of these patents entitled, "Priority inbox notifications and synchronization for mobile-messaging application" was granted last month.

Another Google patent entitled, "Notification of Mobile Device Events," is still pending.

Clear path for Google... - December 22, 2012 at 10:15pm

When Apple and Samsung will have spent billions in courts, GOOGLE will have a clear path to smash them both!

So why is Samsung suing and not Google? What claim can Samsung have when they created nothing?

Nacho Libre - December 23, 2012 at 5:16am

Because Google is the owner of Android? Samsung would be nothing without Google's operative system.

Samsuck - December 23, 2012 at 4:40pm

Stop suing for flip sakes!!!! I'm so sick of this suing business. Can't you all just play fair???!!!!?? Can't you just be friendly competition?

I was thinking the exact same thing.

This is actually right! Apple copied the notification centre concept from Android. PS: I use both Apple and Android

Hulk - December 22, 2012 at 8:09pm

Actually they got that from the cydia store ....

AppleMan12 - December 22, 2012 at 9:26pm

Actually,the tweak in Cydia was a copy of the Notification Center that was already in Android for a long time before.Many Apple users asked for a notification center in iOS,so Apple decided to integrate it.Samsung doesn't own Android,they just use it,so it's quite a surprise they sue Apple....I would expect Google to do it...boh....we,as end users,should really give a fuck,we pay so we want the most for our money,let them sue eachother!
