    The suit, filed last Friday in U.S. District Court in Northern California, alleged² that Samsung's smartphones, such as "Glaxy S 4G" and "Nexus³ S," and the Galaxy⁴ line of tablet computers violated Apple's patent and trademark⁵, according to All Things Digital, a technology and startup company news site.

    "It's no coincidence that Samsung's latest products look a lot like the iPhone and iPad, from the shape of the hardware to the user interface⁶ and even the packaging," the report quoted an Apple representative as saying.

    Intellectual property suits can be often seen among mobile computing⁷ rivals, including suits between Microsoft and Motorola, a suit by Oracle⁸ against Google, and Apple's patent dispute with Nokia and HTC.

    Although Samsung supplies chips for a number of Apple products, Apple CEO Steve Jobs once openly mocked Samsung and other tablet makers⁹ as "copycats" during the iPad2 launch. Last month, Apple is reportedly partnering with China's Taiwan Semiconductor¹⁰ Manufacturing Co. to make iPad chips.（本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑）
