Apple Tries to Attack Android Jelly Bean Directly in ApplevSamsungII
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, November 08 2012 @ 09:09 AM EST
Anyone who bundles allegedly infringing software with their hardware device,
even software that they did not create or modify, and then sells the resulting
bundle, can be sued for patent infringement. Even if they give away the entire
bundle for free they can be sued for patent infringement. The end user who buys
the bundle, or borrows it from a friend who bought it, or who even is given the
bundle for free, can be sued for patent infringement.

Any of the above are considered to be "practicing" the patent and
therefore are infringing, as long as the patent holder can convince a judge
and/or a jury that the patent is valid and the software/device bundle practices
the patent. Such is the state of patent laws in the US.
