If Samsung’s patent infringement battle with Apple wasn’t enough, the Korean company is in the spotlight again over claims that it intentionally copied the design of a patented Dyson vacuum. The British manufacturer has filed a lawsuit with the UK High Court accusing Samsung of duplicating the steering mechanism used in its DC cylinder models and embedding a similar component in the new Motion Sync vacuum cleaner (unveiled last week at IFA 2013). Unfortunately for Samsung, Dyson patented the mechanism back in 2009, which has led Sir James Dyson, the company’s founder, to call it a “cynical rip-off.” Considering Dyson successfully sued its rival for infringing on its “triple-cyclone” patent four years ago, Samsung’s lawyers might just have to suck it up and make a settlement offer.
