Ok that's actually not what happened, at all. Samsung were and remained to my knowledge at war over a large number of software and hardware patents. In the course of the trials, Apple secured a limited time ban on the sale of 2 Samsung tablets in Germany and Australia on the basis they looked too much like iPads. Thing is, 1) this only worked because they were already in a heated, legitimate battle, 2) this was very limited, and 3) the implication of stealing sales by confusing customers can only fly if you A) have actual sales prospects and B) your product and the other one look nearly identical. This situation is not comlarable in any capacity |
the jury bought into Apple's copying claims, particularly around the iPhone, not so much for the iPad; Apple's claims over rectangles with rounded corners, and technology that is similar with Samsung. Ya nah, I'm not going to debate over this, i just post what I see on forbes. It's either you're right or Forbes is wrong or vice versa.
