This is about as low as it can get for Apple in the courts of the world. A judge over in the UK residing over the Apple vs Samsung case (where Apple claims the Samsung Galaxy Tab series is a blatant copy of the iPad series) has not only declared that Samsung’s line isn’t copying Apple’s, but also ruled that Apple must publish this information on its own website. They must also publish it in Financial Times, the Daily Mail, Guardian Mobile magazine, and T3.

It has to be a very tough thing to do. Imagine a bully getting beat up at school, and he has to go to the office and announce his defeat over the intercom. Yea, that’s exactly how it is. We’re not exactly sure how this message will be displayed.



We’re certain it won’t be in the big and bold fashion that they use for advertising the very products they’re fighting for, but beyond that there’s no telling. It’s also likely that this message will only be displayed to those who visit the site from the United Kingdom unless Apple decides to do it in the form of a press release.

Either way it’s an embarrassing loss for Apple. Unfortunately we know they won’t stop. They still have tons of cases in tons of other regions, and they have tons of ammunition to let the battle go on for a long time. Still, we can’t help but to smirk at this one. [via Bloomberg]

Omg, that's something interesting. I am dying to see the message on their website :D :P
 
Wasnt it the case that a court judge absolved Samsung by saying that Samsung device doesnt looks as cool as apple's ?

Was a very stupid comment by the judge, but if apple is smarting.. they might as well publish that one too.

next thing, Poonam pandey will strip if apple puts up that message on thier site LMAO!!!
 
I think this is the same judge that said the "not as cool as the ipad" remark.
i can see apple spining it and writing something like -

"Due to Judge (insert name here), we are required to inform you that Samsung's (insert product name here) does not infringe on our design patents because it is simply "not as cool".
 
Correction

"Due to judge (insert name here), we are required to inform you that Samsung's (insert product name here) does not infringe on our Generic patents because we are patent trolls and we shall sue (read : troll)them in other parts of world if not in UK"
 
And sherlyn Chopra will strip if Apple does that. Oh wait, I think she has :P

Anyways, tbh, apple will appeal against it in some higher courts

That one is very easy to workaround. Android may just increase the transparency of scrollbar instead of hiding it totally. It will be as good as hiding. But I didn't know hiding scrollbars is considered as an innovation in US.
 
why should anyone do a workaround just to satisfy one company? my old symbian/java os phones had this functionality from long since 2004-05. Next they will patent something obvious to all good developers like closing an app or message when clicking on exit button or something like that. does that mean os developers should stop using that code or search for a work around for that?

I would rather ask the question how they get such vague and obvious patents approved! Unified search is one good example. It was there since 80s.
 
helps if people in uspto are partial to them and blindly put a rubber stamp of approval on their applications. that is the only conclusion i can come to.
 
Apple had a good time at the top. However like any product the domination cannot continue forever. Nexus 7 is just the beginning of the assault by others.

Look forward to the notice.
