“The iPhone of Apple Computer is allegedly a clone of a handset made by the Seoul-based LG Electronics, the world’s fifth-largest cell phone manufacturer,” Kim Tae-gyu reports for The Korea Times.
“…If LG sues Apple over patent infingement, it would be the second lawsuit against the iPhone after its long awaited release,” Tae-gyu reports. “As soon as Apple boss Steve Jobs revealed the iPhone last week, U.S. network company Cisco Systems filed a lawsuit against Apple, claiming trademark rights on the iPhone [name].”
Tae-gyu reports, “LG Electronics also thinks the two gadgets are almost identical but the company seems undecided as to whether or not to cry foul against Apple through court action. ‘At first glance, we recognized the iPhone shares many form factors with the Prada phone. We are flattered that other makers follow our design policy,’ LG spokesman Lee Hyoung-kun said. ‘We can’t say at the moment whether or not we will file a lawsuit against Apple regarding this. It’s too early to make remarks on the issues,’ Lee said.”
“Experts predict that if the two phones share functionalities on top of looks, LG might file a complaint,” Tae-gyu reports. “LG has yet to reveal specifications of the Prada phone, which the firm looks to market soon. Yet, its exterior was shown to the public when it won the International Forum Design Product Design Award for 2007.”

LG spokesman Lee Hyoung-kun is correct that it’s too early to make remarks on the issues. One big question is how does the LG’s user interface work? Is the LG multi-touch or just “uni-touch?” An even bigger question would be who actually holds the patents that relate to each phone?
Apple’s iPhone user interface “is the result of years of research and development” and “boy, have we patented it.” – Apple CEO Steve Jobs, January 09, 2007
The Prada is a re-branded LG KE850 phone. A demo of the phone via YouTube (in French):
Apple Inc’s Phil Schiller shows CBS News’ John Blackstone some of the many features of the iPhone:
Hmm…I have to imagine it’s going to be tough for LG to win this one, simply because the entire industry is probably going to move to handsets that look more or less like this–an iPod sized brick with a touchscreen. From that perspective, they’re all going to look more or less the same.
I want you to look back at your comment and then think about all crap Apple has sued over the last (almost) 7 years.
APPLE IS COPYCAT!
iPhone looks like a copy of LG’s phone. Sue Apple just like Apple sued companies that made MP3 players that looked like the ipod.
…devil wears Prada
I dont beleive the details in aethetics of the iPhone UI has been finalised yet. It was one thing that struck me as being not that great, I’m talking specifically about the icons as shown in the above pic. They just don’t seem that nice to me.
I’m thinking the iPhone will be released with different icons, and this is just to stop people from copying it in the mean time.
And how many phones has LG copies? I don’t think they invented the flip phone, probably didn’t invent voice mail, likely didn’t discover that a good location for the microphone was at the bottom of the phone, and I’m almost sure they don’t own the patent for a rectangular-shaped communications device.
Sounds more like, “Hey, let’s threaten the iPhone with a lawsuit so our phone can get some free pub, too!”
I have a Devil of a boss who uses the Prada phone.
If the only similarity is the form factor and full screen I highly doubt there could be any kind of lawsuit. We already read that other phone manufacturer will have to go with full screen form factor but the patents are what is important here. LG does not have a patent on a device with such and such dimension and a full screen: you can’t patent those things and we all know how many so-called iPod killers try to use similar form factor as well: Apple cannot sue them for this.
By all appearances, the two phones share a similar box-like design, but I’m thinking that’s where the similarities end. The Prada phone looks very basic, and like it’s seriously lacking in functionality compared to the iPhone. The interfaces don’t even look similar, based on what I see. Sorry LG … you lose this one.
P.S. – Magic Word – “Take” as in, “Don’t take me for a fool!”
I can’t decide if MDN types blind-folded or they just rush these out the door as soon as possible… Parda?
I never thought there was another phone on a market as similar. Never heard of LC’s phone. Need a demo.
Ah, nice and quick fix MDN. You’re on the ball.
So, any wagers on how fast LC will lost it’s 5th spot?
How dot they look “the same”? If this is “the same”, then both ripped off the design of my 1980s TI pocket calculator: it, too, was flat, rectangular, and black.
Sue Apple just like Apple sued companies that made MP3 players that looked like the ipod.
Please name one lawsuit based on “they have the same/similar dimension of an iPod” or “they have a screen on the top as our iPod” or “they are white as an iPod”.
According to the documentation on the IF website, The International Forum Design Product Design Award for 2007, the official award ceremony is on March 15th 2007.
Am I misunderstanding something?
Also even if it was shown to the public as they state (likely when entered) the development of the iPhone would have already been well underway.
“LG has yet to reveal specifications of the Prada phone, which the firm looks to market soon. Yet, its exterior was shown to the public when it won the International Forum Design Product Design Award for 2007.”
Huh? They haven’t revealed the specifications, but Apple copied them? How could they copy something they’ve never seen? And how did they win an award for best design of 2007 when it’s only January 16? Weird world we live in.
Wow, they do look ver similar… Anyone know when the LG phone was first shown?
Hopefully the LG phone will be available on T-Mobile.
I love Apple, their phone looks cool, but I WILL NEVER SWITCH TO CINGULAR OR ATT!
NEVER!
“Experts predict that if the two phones share functionalities on top of looks, LG might file a complaint,” Tae-gyu reports. “LG has yet to reveal specifications of the Prada phone, which the firm looks to market soon. Yet, its exterior was shown to the public when it won the International Forum Design Product Design Award for 2007.”
If they haven’t released specifications or functionality, how could Apple have copied it?
Nevermind, I found it.
First pictures of LG Prada phone, Dec. 19, 2006:
http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/cellphones/first-pictures-of-the-lg-prada-phone-222990.php
They’ll lose, because Apple would be able to document the design process and countersue for possible patent violations, but they may be dreaming about cross-licenses instead.
LG is waiting to look at iPhone specifications, copy them, THENCE claim Apple copied theirs and file a lawsuit.
Well, if the features of the LG phone weren’t released until late December 2006, I can’t see how Apple would have just conjured up an iPhone in that short period of time. Get real. Apple said it was what, two years in development (at least), as well as Apple holding over 200 patents on the design.
Two hundred patents.
So I suppose it will come down to patent rights and infringement. US patents or international patents?
Two hundred patents. I feel secure that Apple has nothing to worry about.
People have been begging Apple for an iPhone for years. They finally deliver, lightyears ahead of anyones expectation and now, all that you read about is: they copied it, stole it, or it isn’t good enough, or it costs too much.
Envy and jealousy will not bring Apple down. Got that all you red ink losers!!!!!!!!!
How many pots have you smoken???
Oh come on…don’t all cell phones look alike nowadays?
Apple will probably sue LG
Apple has patented the touchscreen phone idea
I haven’t heard of any LG patent for touchscreen devices
LG probably wants a deal with Apple saying we won’t sue you if you don’t sue us . . .
Good lock, LG. But LG is not going to get that deal from Apple.
Apple will righfully sue the pants of LG all the way to Seul, Korea.
Good bye LG. Start building a cash reserve to pay Apple’s licesnses.
your dumb. at the time of your comment, Apple didnt have the patent. they just got it in 2011. they dont innovate shit, they buy other peoples inventions and claim to be innovators. They ripped off Kane Krammer for the iPod and they ripped off LG Prada.
And your missing the point that the iPhone was a copy. Apple cant sue LG you tard.
I don’t think anyone will think Apple copied LG… There is not even a possibility that Apple could have put iPhone together between Dec 19, when LG showed their phone and January 9, when Apple debuted iPhone.
It is a bummer though that both companies were developing a very similar design… Of course, even looking at the first shots and demos, the iPhone considerably trumps LG’s design, but LG did show it first.. Maybe LG studied some of Apple’s patent applications and tried to copy them before Apple launched iPhone.. If I remember correctly these touch-screen Apple patents started showing up around last Summer.
Why not, they copy everyone. Apple copied the iPod from Kane Kramer, copied the MacOS “dock” from Acorn computers, Was sued by Burst.com and settled for the technology used in the iPod and iTunes, copied the iPhone from LG Prada and Samsung F700, copied parts of iOS (like swipe to unlock etc) from NeoNode, Sued by Nokia and settled for patents related to GSM and UMTS standards as well as 802.11 WiFi technologies, Sued by Cisco and settled for using the “iPhone” name, copied the Finder icon from a Picasso painting titled “Two Characters”, copied the App Store from Jailbreak/Cydia, Sued by Personal Audio and lost for patents related to playlist implementation on the iPod. Personal Audio was awarded $8 million. Was sued by Mirror Worlds and lost for patents related to Cover Flow, Time Machine, and Spotlight features found in Mac OS X and iOS. Apple was ordered to pay $625.5 million to Mirror Worlds. And copied Android features that include Notifications, Wireless syncing, Tabbed browsing, New split keyboard, Open apps from the lock screen, and Over the air updates
Didn’t understand the French, but he sure seemed to have difficulty with that phone. Phil, on the other hand, never had a single mis-touch. It works absolutely amazingly… for a pre-release product.
So….
Sue Apple because Prada’s phone looks likes a black 30GB iPod (chrome back) with an Aqua interface?
I laugh.
…
Notice the crappy dialer…no letters on the keypad.
Wonder if Steve Jobs knew about this and decided to put a hold on the iLife 07 demo at MacWorld to show the iPhone six months before they planned to release it?
They say that they’re undecided about court action, but they already know that they won’t, otherwise they would declare that they have filed a suit.
It’s just a quick publicity stunt, LG are trying to bask in Apple’s glory for a day or two.
Way back in 2003, I crapped a turd that looked remarkably like that LG phone. I’m going to sue them for theft and infringement of anal-intellectual property.
The two phones DO look very similar, although from what I’ve read and seen, the iPhone is way ahead in terms of functionality, ease of use, features, etc.
LG and Apple are probably reviewing their patents as I type. My guess is that neither company copied the other but rather as others have pointed out, the design is a “natural” evolution of cell phone fit and form.
June (or sooner!) can not soon enough. My experience with Cingular has been very good. Very few dropped calls and good customer service – immediate resolution to billing issues (occured only while on the border of our calling area). My Moto T120 on the other hand I’m ready to ditch. Looking forward to having 5 hours of talk time compared to 2 with the T120.
Peace.
But seriously, that LG phone looks like something MS would’ve cobbled together as their “answer” to the iPhone. The ZunePhone, no doubt.
Of course iPhone looks better, but man, THAT IS NO COINCIDENCE. They are just WAY TO SIMILAR looking.
Someone got a leak of the others plans. Most likely LG got some inside Apple info, but who knows?
But seriously, that LG phone looks like something MS would’ve cobbled together as their “answer” to the iPhone. The ZunePhone, no doubt.
————-
Agreed, the strange thing is how LG managed to show off the Prada phone three weeks before iPhone. Someone leaked something. Possibly Cingular, Google, Yahoo?
They haven’t sued Apple yet because they can’t. From Steve Jobs keynote: “We have 200 patents in the iPhone, and we will defend them (meaning the patents).”
Looks to me like LG may be the one getting sued.
If LG has no patents they have a problem.
LG has no case at all against Apple.
The interfaces are totally different.
No news here… move on…
I went to Macworld and was watching the iPhone demonstration and the girl who was demonstrating it had a LOT of mis-touches. The iPhone stopped responding and when she tried to turn it off, the phone wouldn’t turn off. She tried to distract us by talking about other things and taking the attention away from the phone. All of the sudden, finally the iPhone obeyed her comands and turned off. I counted about 6 or 7 mis-touches. 🙁
I am a big APPLE fan and I LOVE the iPhone. I just hope Apple gets those bugs out of all iPhones before selling them in June. It was dissapointing to see how nervous she got while trying to work the iPhone.
Just my reply to “coolfactor”.
Uh, MDN, you should report this as “Kim reports” not “Tae-gyu reports.” Use last name, not first.
Thanks!
This is just stupid, stupid. Most of the Window OS OEMed smartphones made by HTC, Dopod and Compal in Taiwan all look the same as the LG and iPhone. All of them are rectangular in design with full and touch sensitive screen (operable with fingers and stylus). How come no one mentioned any lawsuits from LG to those companies? In addition, those phones are out long before the LG or the iPhone, how come no body mentioned any lawsuits from those company to LG? This is just stupid. People see iPhone and know its revolutionary and want to think up a lawsuit just to stop Apple at its track, only because they are afraid that Apple will crush them. iPhone is revolutionary not in its form factor but in its unique multi-touch interface. All phones look the same. You don’t see Motorola suing other phone makers just because the other phones are clam shell in design as well. What’s next? Electronic makers suing each other because what? “their TVs look like our TVs?”
I think Apple should sue LG. When I listen to the LG demo (it’s in French), several times they refer to the ‘Mac OS’.
“Of course iPhone looks better, but man, THAT IS NO COINCIDENCE. They are just WAY TO SIMILAR looking.”
Yeah who would have thought to make a black rectangle with a screen on one side. Insanity. OK so if they revealed their handset in december, Apple rushed out, ripped off the design, and made the fully functioning working copy that steve used during the keynote.
Some of you people have no concept of the lead times on products such as these. Even if Apple had 3 months to copy it, very unlikely they could get a fully functioning prototype done in that amount of time.
OR maybe they have spies inside LG.. .oooooh booogita booogita
Folks..I just watched the French demo of the LG phone. The only thing thats similar sort of, is the keypad. Other than that, the LG is totally bullshit. Not even close to the iPhone’s UI.
Just watch both and see for yourself.
…But seriously, that LG phone looks like something MS would’ve cobbled together as their “answer” to the iPhone. The ZunePhone, no doubt….
In June Microsoft will roll out a rebranded LG Prada as a Zunephone. In brown of course.
iDave, you are right. Those at Apple know what LG and the others are doing, and LG and many others know what Apple is/was up to. Having such similar builds and buttons is no coincidence.
There’s a lot more that goes on behind closed doors than those outside will ever know.
Is it me or does LG’s icon for the mp3 player function look like an iPod? Look around 3:47 +/-
It’s like how many PDAs look alike…b/c it has a touch big screen. Sure the general shap is similar but the stuff on the screen doesn’t even look the same. There’s a bar to scroll up and down on the side of the screen. In phones like these, I think it’s the inside that is the big difference and there is a huge difference b/w the Prada and the iPhone.
Well, yeah, they do look similar. But on the other hand, did, RCA sue Toshiba because the face of their TV was copied by Toshiba? Maye the
Wright brothers should have patented the look of their airplane. Considering that there really aren’t other ways to design a flying machine (copied after birds of course) that would have severely limited the development of flight. Yikes!
I think Apple can prove that it has been working on the iPhone much longer than LG has on its phone. The idea of a device with a big screen that can change the device’s interface based on function came from PDAs. The first PDA with a phone was a Handspring Visor with phone attachment. Maybe Palm (who bought Handspring) should sue Apple. And you can go back and say that the Newton was the first PDA. So maybe Apple should sue itself.
LG has a history of this shit, don’t read too deeply into it. Everytime a handset appears that resembles one of theirs no matter how remote, The Korea Times runs an article about a possible lawsuit with an LG spokesman providing the same “We’re flattered that somebody decided to copy our design/it’s too early to make remarks on the issue.”
See the Motorola KRZR incident in which LG was “thinking” about suing Motorola because it resembled the clamshell version of their Chocolate phone:
http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/10/08/lg-gets-pissy-at-motorola-over-krzr-design/
http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/200610/kt2006100816580253460.htm
LG won’t do a damn thing. I can’t wait for these phones to get released so the comparisons can stop. That Prada phone will have none of the functionality of Multi-touch. It has the same dated touchscreen technology as any other handset pre-iPhone.
The LG phone isn’t even for sale yet, and LG hasn’t released its specs. How can they claim Apple copied anything from it?
John Sculley did something right – he created a touch screen PDA with a button-based interface and manipulation a decade before LG. Apple can claim it is based on the Newton with a phone, music and internet options thrown in.
Here’s another example of LG showboating. They “thought” about suing Samsung for copying the Chocolate phone with their E900 ultra-thin slider:
http://times.hankooki.com/lpage/200607/kt2006072317554153460.htm
Same cookie-cutter Korea Times article. Of course LG didn’t do squat because they didn’t have a case, instead using these incidents for free publicity.
Previously it didn’t make much noise. However the iPhone is currently the biggest story in tech and there’s a tremendous campaign of FUD to tear it down. This time it might have legs.
Although there are simularities I don’t think the LG would win a lawsuit. Remember jobs said he’s got over 200 patents on the iPhone. I also don’t think it had the pinch or scroll capabilities on the LG phone either. We know the LG phone is not running OSX of any kind so the operating system would also be different. The display on the LG looked terrible compared to the iPhone. It looked washed out and the color wasn’t very good either.
LG squatted.
Really ??????
Prada Phone???
Where can I get one? – I quite like it! It’ll put me on until the iPhone (or whatever) is released in the UK.
No accelerometer, no multi-touch, no proximity detector, no ambient light sensor, no os x, no web browser …
no lawsuit.
You lost me at scrolling.
speaking of scrolling, why does the LG phone have scroll bars that require the user to place their finger over the scroll bar instead of just scrolling across the screen ala iPhone. It’s the details that will make people buy the iPhone.
Just because you have to touch the screen doesn’t mean its the same device. I click a mouse a type on a keyboard, doesn’t mean I’m using a Mac?
LG’s and Apple’s phones are not even on the market yet. How could Apple copy LG’s design without even seeing it. Maybe Apple had a look at it when LG won that award a few weeks ago…but you can’t crank out a top-notch UI like the iPhone has in just a few weeks. As Apple said, the development of the iPhone has taken years. As others have said, its inevitable that some things will look similar when moving to an all-touch UI. But that navigation bar at the bottom of the iPhone and LG’s phone is not new…my Newton MP 130 has one just like it.
Shakespeare had the solution to this long ago:
“The first thing we must do is kill all the lawyers.” — King Henry VI
LG is a savy company, they likely have filed patents on their design. I suspect if they come out with a window’s mobile (especially a vista mobile) version of this phone for less than the $500 iphone and offer it to a variety of carrier’s, this device will REALLY hurt Apple’s sales.
I for one haven’t renewed my Verizon contract because I wanted to hold out for the iphone… but if this device is offered by Verizon for less money, I’d have to reconsider. I suspect many others would too.
Hopefully Apple will introduce the phone at a lower price point and/or more features (i.e. iChat with video) by June.

LG has numerous patents on mobile phone/touchscreen devices.
Guess they didn’t want to give Apple any more free publicity…
Hmmm… if Taiwan and the Luxpro iPod shuffle wannabe can get away with copycats, I can imagine Apple would have no trouble. But since I belive that Apple probably has the patents (over 200 of them), then LG will be the one to go home crying.
the lg fone is running windows
windows is a mac clone
my tv remote looks like an iphone
a black rectangle with a touchscreen
I agree with Q.
It would be nice to have an alternative.
Cingular and ATT in Northern California is an abomination.
It is absurd to think of this as any kind of iPhone alternative. For Christ’s sake it’s the same piece of crap touchscreen of today, the reason why we were turned away from the idea in the first place. It’s not OS X, it’s either some LG proprietary interface or Windoze designed to look like the Mac OS. I guaran-damn-tee it doesn’t have half the functionality of Multi-touch.
If you could see yourself with this, why wait? Go ahead and get that BlackBerry Pearl or the Dash. You already have plenty piece of shit alternatives to the iPhone, only difference is that Motorola and Samsung and Nokia will soon disguise them to look like this LG Prada-wannabe.
Too much about form factor. Could GM or Ford sue Hyundai or Kia because they have sheet metal covering 4 wheels and the thing moves with the assistance of a internal combustion engine? I think not!

>Apple has patented the touchscreen phone idea
NO THEY HAVEN’T!
Apple’s patents apply to the user interface and the software on the phone. LG’s potential lawsuit would be over the design of the hardware device. I think the Prada does have an unmistakable resemblance to the iPhone, and since the Prada was unveilled long before the iPhone, LG is not “without grounds” for a lawsuit.
If you want to make the case that all phones look the same, and that everything from a Texas Instruments calculator to a TV remote to the iPhone all look the same fine. But then don’t go extolling the iPhone as “beautiful” and “gorgeous” or extolling Apple for its innovative and brilliant industrial design.
Personally, I think LG’s has a credible (but small) beef with Apple. But I doubt they’ll file a lawsuit anyway.
So does Prada make a bag called “The LG”?
also, couldn’t that Frog cameradude put a piece of tape over his dam red light? Please?
MW:later, as in “later”
Thanks for the heads up MDN. I never heard of LGs phone untill today. Damn I thought Apple was first with the touch screen design. I too am now flaccid with rage.
I smell an attempt to ride on the iPhone publicity here. Looks like the similarity is full size touchscreen (of some sort), icon buttons (of some sort), phone. That’s hardly unique. And to my eye, they don’t look the same at all.
But LG gets its headlines…
“‘We are flattered that other makers follow our design policy,’ LG spokesman Lee Hyoung-kun said.”
What an arrogant Korean prick.
after watching the demo, i think there is some slight aesthetic similarities but not enough for a lawsuit
I don’t get it.
“It look’s the same”
What, the fact that it has large numbers that you can press on the screen? Puhl-eease.
Anyway, you can’t sue for look-and-feel, every Mac-user knows this, for god’s sake we tried and failed with Microsoft.
Yet, its exterior was shown to the public when it won the International Forum Design Product Design Award for 2007.”
Reading the PDF file of the Internation Forum Design Product Design Award for 2007 flyer on their website we find a interesting little tidbit… one of the financial backers of the PRIZE MONEY for the award are Dyson (2002-2006) and LG (2004-2006)!
Do you think LG receiving an award and their sponsorship is somehow linked? Nah… NOT!
“”‘We are flattered that other makers follow our design policy,’ LG spokesman Lee Hyoung-kun said.”
What an arrogant Korean prick.”
Yet if the names were Apple instead of LG and Anyone instead of Apple, you’d all say that the other company were a bunch of pricks and shamelessly copying Apple.
Face it, Apple’s rarely first with any idea, they usually rip off somebody else’s idea, tweak it a bit and serve it up to the rabid mac faithful who have such a limited perspective on technology that they truly believe Apple invented whatever bill of goods they’re being sold.
Guys:
I think many of you are missing the point. It doesn’t matter if Apple “COPIED” LG. What matters is whether LG owns a patent that it believes the iPhone is infringing upon. Say, for example, that LG owns a patent on the use of a touchscreen as a numeric keypad. They could then sue Apple regardless of whether the iPhone’s touchscreen kaypad is a direct ripoff of the Prada phone. I think that’s what LG is talking about.
The problem is that the patent game has gone crazy. LG patents using a touchscreen as a keyPAD and Apple patents using a touchscreen as a keyBOARD, and they battle it out in the courts.
I say reform the patent system, but I bet there’s a lot of patent laywers who would fight hard to ensure that doesn’t happen.
Apple had the iPhone in development over 2 1/2 years ago and has patented the bejesus (over 500) out of it.
Owning a patent is like having the DNA evidence to exonerate.
The only thing similar with these two phones is they are both rectangular and have a touch screen. Unless LG has patented the rectangle and the human index finger, they have no case.
The iPhone makes the Prada look severely outdated and that is why LG is making these comments out of absolute frustration.
“Apple had the iPhone in development over 2 1/2 years ago and has patented the bejesus (over 500) out of it. “
The patents won’t issue if LG and others can show prior art. Apple copied the idea for the iPhone from phones running Microsoft’s Pocket PC/ Windows Mobile OS, some of which are large rectangular touchscreen only phones which have been around for more than 2 1/2 years, so showing prior art for any of the key patents should be pretty easy.
It should be noted that just about everyone who introduced a touchsceeen only phone evenytually added a physical keyboard to it as the touchsceen only interface is great for a PDA, but sucks for a cellphone. So too will likely be the case with the iPhone.
The interface is not even close to the same….somebody better lay down the glass pipe. The guy keeps touching the bezel to do anything.
Didn’t I see this bezel touching interface in patents by Apple?

http://www.macnn.com/blogs/?p=136
Anyone on either side who thinks either company can sue over the overall design of the phone is ignorant to phone history. Anyone remember the IBM Simon…
http://cdecas.free.fr/computers/pocket/simon.php
if apple had copied LG KE850 they would have included the 3g internet capabilities that the LG KE850 is rumored to have. the LG KE850 looks just like the chocolate and my self personally think prada did a horrible job with the design. Even when the LG KE850 when it does come out it is not coming to the US so the best compition the iphone has is Samsung’s Ultra Smart F700 although it doesnt inculde touch screen keyboard it will be the best competitor for the iphone in the us
I hope LG wins the case!!! every single one of my friends who has an iphone…their only comment was “very disappointed!”
which one more expensive?
Well the good thing about america is if lg wants to file a law suit they can and if apple wants to file a lawsuit because they started working on it before lg then they can but just let the two companys works this out they dont need our comments it isnt worth the fighting and gettin all upset over it !
It is time for Prime Minister Stephen Harper to fix his mistake and give back to our inventory integrity, said the ONA President Doris Grinspun Saturday.
