Submission + - Galaxy Nexus does not infringe Apple patents (geek.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Samsung has been on the receiving end of many an Apple lawsuit in recent months, and in some cases a ban on selling its products. The Galaxy Nexus smartphone, which was unveiled last night, could also come under close scrutiny in the courts once Apple takes a look at it. But unlike previous Samsung Android devices, the chances of that happening are apparently going to be diminished or even non-existent.

Shin Jong-kyun, the president of Samsung’s mobile division, admitted yesterday that the Galaxy Nexus has been developed taking into account Apple’s patents. The first Android 4.0 smartphone to hit the market has been created in such a way as to not infringe any of the patents currently being used in lawsuits against other Samsung Android devices.
