Apple Must Publish Notice Samsung Didn’t Copy IPad
Ouch!
Apple Inc. (AAPL) was ordered by a judge to publish a notice on its U.K. website and in British newspapers alerting people to a ruling that Samsung Electronics Co. didn’t copy designs for the iPad. The notice should outline the July 9 London court decision that Samsung’s Galaxy tablets don’t infringe Apple’s registered designs, Judge Colin Birss said today. It should be posted on Apple’s U.K. home page for six months and published in several newspapers and magazines to correct any impression the South Korea-based company was copying Apple’s product, Birss said. The order means Apple will have to publish “an advertisement” for Samsung, Richard Hacon, a lawyer for Cupertino, California-based Apple, told the court. “No company likes to refer to a rival on its website.”

Looks like the judge is not an apple fanboy then !
A lesson to Apple that it cant be using its power and wealth to "bully" other manufactors whether rightly or wrongly for supposed infrigments of its copy rights ? Richard |
Can't wait to see the size of it.

Although I do think other companies have copied Apple to a certain degree, what the heck are thye supposed to do? Shape it like a giant penis?
It's going to look like that because of what it is. A bit like Mcihelin trying to stop Falken producing black round rubber things that resemble their tyres. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. They might look similar but they don't get the important bit right, the useability. |

Jack, have you looked at the internals of the Galaxy and Ipad? Superficial stuff like how a charger looks or how it is packaged is nothing in comparison, the picture also shows the US system which Apple do not hold the rights too and the microphones look completely different.
You may have been trolled with that picture. |
Are the internals copied too?
|
No
|
I have an iPad2 and the power adapter looks nothing like that. I notice in that pic that you don't get a view of it with the Apple logo either.
I'm not saying Samsung haven't taken 'inspiration' from the iPad ;) (after all it is a great product), but I bet that little series of pictures doesn't really tell the whole truth. Geezer |
Honestly, other than the lawyers and über geeks.....who cares? :D
A company produces a device that sells millions, other companies make similar products, shock! Surely it's a good thing for us users, keeping the companies on their toes to keep producing better products to compete for our hard earned cash. :norty: |

How much of that explode of an Ipad do Samsung make and patent. Do the same to a Galaxy, how much do Apple make and patent. This is why Judges are getting pissed off. |
The cable connector pic clearly shows that Samsung put the USB connected on the left and the device end on the right
So jack, how you can say they copied apple beggars belief quite frankly, as apple have designed it the other way round |
....and if you lived in Australia they would be upside down, case closed

Anyhow, Samsung played a good game, I know a few suckers that bought a Tab and plenty more people will be won over by Samsung's epic marketing spend. |
I have both, care to elaborate...
|
I wonder why all of you get this worked up about it...
|
But if you read the thread title they haven't :) So they copied a plug and a box?? For fecks sake how many LCD/Plasma tvs look similar in box, plug and looks as thats what they have to look like. As for the look of the apps isn't that what the persone who designs the app makes it look like?
Are apple copying HTC/ Sony etc as they had touch screen phones out long before apple. What apple did well was create the app store! |

Oh and if you think there was anything like the iPhone when the iPhone was released then more fool you. You just can't get through to you Fandroids and your support for Korea. |

Has Apple sued or attempted to sue or is in the process of suing Google for writing Android with icons with rounded corners ? |

:lol1: Serves Apple right for replacing "innovation" for litigation.

You might have missed the word comical, I have no idea if it's real, but just got off the phone with Stevie, he says Samsung copy Apple.
John, Apple marketing is eclipsed by Samsung by a magnitude of lots. The Olympic Flame had a Samsung truck in front of it with a large iPad stuck on the side. Every night I see at least one Samsung TV advert. As for patent law suits, I have no idea if and what Apple are currently suing who for what. But answer me this, who sues the most? Apple, Google or Microsoft? |
