Ondrej Holzman Apple must rewrite the notice within 24 hours informing its customers that Samsung did not copy the design of its products. The British judges did not like the original version, which, according to them, is misleading and insufficient.
It all started in mid-October, when the British court confirmed the earlier decision and Apple ordered, that it must apologize to Samsung on its website and in selected newspapers, stating that the Korean company did not copy the patented design of the iPad. Apple last week though he did, but Samsung complained about the wording of the message and the court upheld it.
British judges therefore ordered Apple to withdraw the current statement within 24 hours and then publish a new one. The company's lawyer, Michael Beloff, tried to explain that the Californian company thought everything was in compliance with the regulation and asked for an extension of the period in which Apple must post the corrected text to 14 days, but he stumbled. "We're surprised that you can't immediately deploy a new one the moment you take down the old statement," Lord Justice Longmore answered him. Another judge, Sir Robin Jacob, expressed himself in a similar vein: “I'd like to see the head of Apple testify under oath why this is so technically challenging for Apple. Can't they put something on their website?'
At the same time, Apple was ordered to draw attention to the amended statement in three sentences on its main page and to refer to the new text with them. In the original one, Samsung didn't like Apple citing German and American court decisions that ruled in favor of the iPad maker, so the whole "apology" was inaccurate and misleading.
Apple refused to comment on the whole situation. However, the company's lawyer, Michael Beloff, defended the original statement, saying it complied with the regulation. "He's not supposed to punish us. He doesn't want to make sycophants out of us. The only purpose is to set the record straight,” he told the judges, who sided with Samsung, so we can expect a revised apology from Apple.
In my opinion, the samsung galaxy tab does not resemble the ipad at all, neither in color nor in anything else, on the contrary, apple copied the design from samsung but made a mistake when the ipad started selling a year earlier than samsung
And you have a blind hula…..
: DDDDDD
They can write after the three sentences on the main page that they wrote one more version and put the source link there :D
Well, as I didn't see any apology in the original wording, so I'm not too surprised, I expected that there would be a complaint from Samsung... Classic, well ;) being Apple, I would write that I apologize to Samsung for the fact that they are less cool and that I definitely do not have a patent for the rectangle with round corners.
I don't understand that Anglo-Western countries defend Koreans, who obviously copy the design of Apple both for phones and pads (this must be recognized by every person, regardless of whether he likes Apple or not!.. to all haters->open your eyes) Apple is a company , which tries to make something that looks good and that will also work without problems, and it is understandable that the development, production technology and materials cost something. Unfortunately, people do not believe in such a strategy, because here (mainly in the Czech Republic) there are only a few people and companies that try to do something well. Because it would cost a lot of money, people prefer to buy something of lower quality and it works...unfortunately not as well and not as long as a quality product. Apple is lucky that they like their design so much that people are willing to pay the money for it.. for which they also get quality. Apple is not just trying to make money (like Samsung, etc., which have no problem brazenly copying the appearance and OS.. just so that the customer feels that they have something like Apple), but they are trying to make people's lives easier and give them a quality thing that simply works, fulfills its purpose and has a tasteful design. Moreover, by the fact that other large companies copy the products and appearance of apple, it only confirms that they are a model for them. And the big companies themselves think that Apple does those things well (every Samsung fan, etc. should think about this..)
..I like samsung, because of the NOTE series.. and I admit that samsung copied / took inspiration from apple.. ..but Galaxy Ace (that is a total copy of iPhone) and Galaxy S1 ... But when I look up at that photo, I see two completely different tablets. And the photo is also misleading, because the Samsung Tab is more likely to be used lying down... .. so I really don't understand how someone can talk about copying in the present tense, it must be about the SIII.. Android OS is a matter of google.. the only thing Nowadays, I consider a high-quality camera to be better on an iPhone, because no Android phone has such good lenses as the iPhone.. and system speed? Compare an iPhone for about 16t with an Android phone for about 6t, where weak processors, poorly tuned the system is ridiculous..
At court, it was mostly the older devices. It is clear that now that he has risen on the wave of Apple, he is already going his own way, but not completely. It still takes over, see the failed Siri imitation
In addition, I think the Tab 10.1 is already a modified variant when the original Tab was banned in Germany
Siri imitates Google, not Samsung.. In the wave of Apple.. I don't see. Samsung started making interesting phones from SII, which has only color in common with iPhone.. flat rectangle is every phone at that time.. But again, on the contrary, Apple is copying Android with a 4-inch display and With a 7-inch tablet..??!!:;) And google maps. . so that's the case that Apple is catching up with the last manufacturer. .Yes, the Tab is probably already modified, the old ones don't have the reprints on the sides and not even the Samsung inscription on the front. but the order is made lying down and writes a rectangle rather than a square. .so I doubt that someone bought a Samsung tablet in the domain of Apple..
The worst are the demented people who say that Samsung is copying Apple :DD
I didn't see any apology in the original text either, I guess I'm not a lawyer... :) so it's no surprise to me that he has to write it again
