Google says most infringed Apple patents not related to core Android OS

Engadget notes Google has issued a statement regarding Apple's win in the lawsuit against Samsung. The search giant insists that while Samsung lost the trial, the ruling doesn't actually implicate the Android operating system. Google claims most of the patents that were found to infringe on Apple's intellectual property don't relate to the core Android operating system:

This weekend, though, Mountain View finally released a statement, insisting that while Samsung lost the trial, the ruling doesn't actually implicate Android. "The court of appeals will review both infringement and the validity of the patent claims. Most of these don't relate to the core Android operating system," the company said, noting that several of these patents are being revisited by the US Patent Office. Still, buried in that statement is an implicit acknowledgment that if Samsung can't reverse the decision on appeal, innovation among Android devices might well be be stifled:

"The mobile industry is moving fast and all players - including newcomers - are building upon ideas that have been around for decades. We work with our partners to give consumers innovative and affordable products, and we don't want anything to limit that."
