UK judge forces Apple to state on its site that Samsung didn’t copy the iPad
Posted in: Today's ChiliApple is being forced by a British judge to state explicitly that Samsung didn’t copy its iPad design. According to Bloomberg, Judge Colin Birss said that Apple has to post a notice both on its website and several British newspapers and magazines, to help correct the “damaging impression the South Korea-based company was copying Apple’s product.” The online part will reportedly stay there for six months. Apple lost its case against Samsung in the UK earlier this month, with the same judge awkwardly branding the 10-inch Android tablet “not as cool” as the iPad.

UK Judge says Galaxy Tab ‘not as cool’ as iPad, awards Samsung win in design suit
Posted in: Today's ChiliHow’s that for the ultimate backhanded legal award? A judge in the UK handed a win to Samsung in an intellectual property dispute, calling the Galaxy Tab “not as cool” as the iPad, and therefore not likely to get confused with Apple’s tablets. Adding insult to lawsuit win, Judge Colin Birss said that Samsung’s slates “do not have the same understated and extreme simplicity which is possessed by the Apple design.” The Galaxy Tabs are distinct from the iPad given their thinner form factors and the “details” on the backs of the devices, according to the judge. If Apple’s not happy with his too-cool-for-suit ruling, he also gave Cupertino 21 days to appeal.
