HONG KONG, Oct. 19 (Yonhap) -- The Galaxy Nexus smartphone, the first handset built
bypass potential legal attacks from Apple Inc., the mobile chief of Samsung Electronics
Co. said.
   The remarks from Shin Jong-kyun, Samsung's mobile president, came as the Korean
firm unveiled the result of its first major collaboration with Google Inc., and after
suffering a series of setbacks in recent legal battles with Apple.

   Apple secured temporary sales bans on Samsung's Galaxy Tab tablet computer in
Germany and Australia on the argument that it copied the iPad. The injunctions will likely
force the Korean firm to miss out on the key holiday sales season in both countries.
   Patents are very complicated and can be difficult to identify, Shin said, but Samsung
tried to ensure that no known patent by Apple is included in the new Android

smartphone.
   Despite such efforts, he could not say with certainty that the Galaxy Nexus, dubbed by
media as Google and Samsung's answer to the iPhone 4S, would be entirely safe from
Apple's legal offense.
   "We will see if (the Galaxy Nexus) will be 100 percent free," from Apple lawsuits, he
added.
Shin said that the past six months of lawsuits in which Samsung and Apple have filed
numerous suits and countersuits was "just the start" of a long patent war, from which he
sees no end in sight.
The bitter legal tussle started in April when Apple accused Samsung of copying its iPad
and iPhone in Samsung's Galaxy series of mobile devices. The dispute has expanded to
30 cases in 10 countries in Asia and Europe, as well as in the United States.
   "I think it is just a start and (the lawsuits) will last for a considerable time," Shin said.
"I don't think there is much gain (from lawsuits against Apple). What we are losing is the
pride in our brand."
Samsung is also seeking to block sales of the iPhone 4S, which went on sales last Friday
in seven countries. Apple said it sold more than 4 million units of the new iPhone during
the first three days of sales.
The Korean firm filed motions in France, Italy, Japan and Australia to stop the sale of the
iPhone 4S, which Samsung claims violated wireless patents and designs.
   Samsung added personnel to its legal team to ramp up the battle against Apple and
plans to hire more lawyers, according to Shin.
"(I realized that) having technological power and being business savvy aren't enough," he
