From time to time, very interesting disputes arise in the courts regarding the rights to the familiar to everyone
technologies.Now let's talk about another such example. On May 20, K. Mirza LLC filed a lawsuit against Samsung in a German court, the essence of which is that the brand's devices on “earlier versions of Android” use technologies from the Dutch institute Nederlandse Organisatie voor Togepast Natuurwetenschappelijk Onderzoe to estimate battery reserves. The point is that this same Dutch institute has patented algorithms for calculating the time to full discharge based on the user experience of a particular owner. According to the applicant, Samsung uses them.
It is assumed that the same claims may beand to a number of other manufacturers, such as Xiaomi or Google, but so far the appeal has been addressed to the market leader. Samsung did not comment on this situation in any way, however, judging by the wording about the “younger Android”, the problem is unlikely to become serious, but will only be PR for K. Mirza LLC.
