Apple rejects Samsung's offer

Apple Inc rejected an offer from Samsung Electronics Co to help settle their tablet computer row in Australia, hoping for an important court victory there in its global campaign of patent litigation.

Apple claims Samsung's Galaxy line of mobile phones and tablets "slavishly" copied its iPhone and iPad and has launched an international legal battle which is expected to hurt growth at one of the South Korean firm's fastest-growing businesses.

Samsung has rejected the accusations and has shot back with claims of its own. Samsung approached Apple last week, offering to help secure a quick court ruling in their Australian dispute, in return for being able to immediately launch the new Galaxy tablet there.

This will remain to be a historic case after an American court ruled in favor of Apple and ordered Samsung to pay 1Billion Dollars as compensation.
Samsung is said to have paid that amount in coins!

I love Samsung. It is my brand of choice. However,if at all they had to pay compensate, I have no problem with that-it's business anyway and no one is ready to incur losses in favor of another beneficiary.

It was reported that The USA court lifted the ban on Samsung products, Samsung thus went ahead to launch their galaxy mini which has the same screen size as Apple's iPhone 5.
