Apple forced to publish that Samsung didn't copy them!

[xxMATTGxx]

A judge in Britain is forcing Apple to publicly acknowledge that Samsung didn't copy the iPad, according to a report by Bloomberg.

A judge has ordered Apple to post a notice on its website and in "several" British newspapers and magazines highlighting a recent ruling that Samsung didn't copy the iPad.

Apple must leave that notice up on its website for the next six months. Ouch!

Apple lost a case against Samsung in Britain earlier this month, as the judge ruled that Samsung's Galaxy Tab tablets weren't cool enough to be confused with the iPad.

Can guarantee they'll appeal it and manage to pay someone off to have it over ruled

The UK legal system isn't *as* corrupt as the USA, as we've seen so far in these frivolous court cases

Absolutely brilliant, although I'm sure Apple will off set with some backhand patent dispute about some other stupid ****. Their latest fun one is about disappearing scroll bars and how iOS had them first.

Apple always think that a company is copying them in some way or another. All the arselicks of Apple start ******** and moaning when a company brings out something relatively similar to an Apple product.

My ICT teacher was telling me a few weeks ago that apple copied an already existing device to 'come up' with their iPod. So... you nick some, you lose some.

Good, it's about time Apple were told who's boss and acknowledge something everyone knows to be false - that the Tab cannt be a copy of the iPad. They should stop hiding behind the law and actually allow competition where it is needed.

Let the customers decide what is bad or good, not the courts.

Depends if they want to admit that the iPad isn't cool and pick another fight with Samsung. The only way they can counter claim is if they say the ruling judge was wrong in his decision - that the iPad isn't cool.

It's a strange yet complicated situation.
