Samsung Electronics plans to sidestep a sales ban on its smartphones in the Netherlands by tweaking their technology to avoid violating Apple patents, in a move that could help break a deadlock in the companies’ ongoing legal battle, according to the “Wall Street Journal” (http://macte.ch/ehjHM).
The article says a Samsung spokesman hinted that the company might take a similar approach in other markets where Apple is seeking or has already obtained a ban on Samsung’s smartphones and tablet computers. The company plans to start selling the modified phones in the Dutch market this month.
