Apple and Samsung May Start New Confrontation







Some internet sources report that Apple and Samsung are about to start a new clash in the near future. In particular, the new court trial is scheduled for February 19th. Let’s have a closer look at the reasons.


 
The world’s 2 major tech companies – Samsung and Apple – seem to be trying to start another clash of the titans. The thin is that Apple is trying to ban any attempts of copying the outer looks of its world-famous products like iPhone and iPad.
 
Experts believe that this attempt may cause more court trials in the future since many companies worldwide are trying to copy the outer looks of those devices to make them more popular in emerging markets.
 
At the same time, they expect a new patent war between Apple and Samsung. It should be noted that once Apple managed to win and force Samsung to obey to its demands through the country.
 
The forthcoming trial is scheduled for February 19th. Still, if the parties fail to compromise, they will have to meet again in the same court in early spring, the sources report.
 
Meanwhile, Apple’s stock keeps consolidating after the recent rally seen in late 2013. At this point, the price is recovering from the bearish retracement, trading around $555 per share. The chart below, courtesy of Masterforex-V Academy, reflects the current state of affairs in the market of AAPL:
