Shocked, Apple’s Jobs Confronted Samsung Over Galaxy


Steve Jobs, Apple Inc.’s late co- founder, confronted Samsung (005930) Electronics Co. executives in 2010 after the South Korean company introduced its Galaxy smartphone, Apple’s patent licensing director testified, Bloomberg reports.

Boris Teksler, director of patent licensing and strategy, was called as a witness yesterday in Apple’s multibillion-dollar intellectual property trial against Samsung in federal court in San Jose, California. He said Apple made a presentation to Samsung executives in August 2010 intended to warn the company against copying the iPhone.

“We were quite shocked,” he said. “They were a trusted partner of ours and we didn’t know how a trusted partner would build a product like that.”
