Njengakwezinkampani eziningi ezinkulu, i-Apple ifunwa kaningi, kwesinye isikhathi iba nezizathu eziningi futhi kwesinye isikhathi kube nokuncane. Ngokwazi lokhu, i-Apple nezinye izinkampani ezinkulu zivikela imihlane yabo ngabameli abasebenzayo (ababiza kakhulu) abathi, ngokunengqondo, benze umsebenzi wabo futhi bavikele amakhasimende abo ukuthi akhokhe izizumbulu zemali. Lokhu kungenzeka kungekudala ngemuva kwalokho, ngokusho kuka Bloomberg, I-Apple ingagwema ukukhokha isamba esifinyelela ku- $ 533 million yokwephulwa kwelungelo lobunikazi.
Ngibeke ukuphawula kwabameli ngoba azikho izikhathi ezimbalwa lapho ijaji likhipha isinqumo livuna elinye lamaqembu athintekile kepha umsebenzi omuhle wabasebenzi bezomthetho wale ngxenye obekulahleka ekuqaleni ubenza babuyisele phansi babuse ngokuthanda okunye, okungaphinde kushintshe ekufuneni okuzayo ngokuya ngomsebenzi omuhle wabameli abaphikisanayo. Futhi kungenxa yokuthi izinsizakalo zokusabalalisa ze-Apple, njenge-iTunes Store, bekufanele kwephule amalungelo obunikazi amathathu e-Smartflash, i-United States Patent kanye neHhovisi Lophawu Lokuhweba seligcine ngokungasebenzi la malungelo obunikazi.
I-Apple ingagwema isijeziso sokwephulwa kwelungelo lobunikazi le-Smartflash
Iphaneli lamajaji amathathu elivela ejensi lobunikazi lithole ukuthi amalungelo obunikazi amabili bekungafanele nanini akhishwe kwasekuqaleni ngoba umqondo wokugcina nokukhokhela idatha kungumqondo ongaqondakali, hhayi into ethile esunguliwe. Ngo-Mashi, i-ejensi yasho okufanayo mayelana nelungelo lobunikazi lesithathu le-Smartflash.
Kungenzeka kakhulu, manje yiSmartflash esifuna lesi sinqumo futhi icele ihhovisi ukuthi licabangele kabusha isikhundla salo. Uma ingaphumeleli, isinyathelo esilandelayo kungaba yiNkantolo Yokudlulisa Amacala yase-United States, lapho bekhona njengamanje ufunda ukuba semthethweni kwamalungelo obunikazi nokuthi i-Apple isebenzise ubuchwepheshe be-Smartflash noma cha. Kuzofanele silinde sibone ukuthi leli cala liphela kanjani, kepha nginovalo olukhulu lokuthi, ngaphandle kokuthi iphutha libonakale futhi njengoba kwenzeka kaningi, omkhulu uzowina (batshela i-Oracle ukuthi ilahla ingxabano yayo neGoogle ikhodi ye-Android -Java-).
