Apple Loses Design Patent Appeal Against Samsung Galaxy Tab in UK
A British court ruled that Samsung Galaxy Tab did not pose a copyright infringement of Apple iPad. Apple and Samsung are locked in design patent infringement lawsuits around the world, with the UK being an important market for both. In addition to its ruling, the court told Apple to issue a public apology to Samsung and its customers in advertisements, with a font size no smaller than Arial 14. The court of appeal upheld its judgement that and Samsung did not infringe Apple's design.

It's always a good day when a patent troll gets trolled.

182. blablabla It is a cool design.
190. blablabla. They are not as cool. The overall impression produced is different. Conclusion 191. The Samsung tablets do not infringe Apple's registered design No. 000181607-0001.

Only size 14? I would make them have to put it size 172 and get at least 2 billboards in one major city.

LOL. I needed that this morning.
While I've never been one to be on the Apple Hate Cider, I'm really glad this was thrown out. The patent trolling has become absolutely ubsurd, and in the end, it only screws the consumers. More competition drives growth, lower prices, and more options for us. |

More like in the Outer Hebrides islands, facing west. With sufficient magnification (and a little luck), you might be able to see the sign from the southern tip of Greenland.

Apple isn't getting everything its way in the U.S. courts:
Apple ordered by U.S. court to reveal iPhone profit margins Apple won its recent U.S. patent case against Samsung, but the company may have to pay a price by revealing key profit details about the iPhone.Source: c|net |

Did them more harm than good. Whats in the action, is inherently manifest and equal too the reaction. Nobody's above that universal law, not even apple lol.
