Is it?

Quote:
The Galaxy tablets “do not have the same understated and extreme simplicity which is possessed by the Apple design,” [Judge Colin] Birss said. “They are not as cool.”

Same article as linked to above.

The design for three Galaxy tablets doesn’t infringe Apple’s registered design, Judge Colin Birss said today in London in a court fight between the world’s two biggest makers of smartphones. Consumers aren’t likely to get the tablet computers mixed up, he said.


wow some common sense!!

clicky
Another burst of common sense hits the courts, with the german justice system being able to differentiate between motorola Zoom and the iPad.

Quote:
Apple sued Motorola for allegedly infringing three Ipad design patents with its Xoom tablet in a bid to get the device removed from shelves across Europe. However Apple lost in court against the Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet, because with its quirky angular edges and black plastic back panel the Motorola Xoom looks nothing like the Apple Ipad.

It's too late, or more accurately the litigation had it's intended effect, in at least some sense. Hardly anyone is even thinking about buying a Xoom any more. Why buy an Android 3 tablet from Motorola when you can get a Google Nexus for about half the price, which has a better spec in many regards. The Xoom had a window of opportunity and Apple used litigation to close it before Motorola could clamber through.

Not ethical of course, but these are corporations. if you expect them to be ethical, you'll always come away disappointed.

Today, Bloomberg reports that the same judge has put in yet another twist in this case. Judge Colin Birss has ordered Apple to purchase and run ads in a number of UK-based newspaper and magazines that dispel the idea that the Galaxy Tab is a copy of the iPad. In effect, Apple has been ordered to pay for and run ads for Samsung's Galaxy Tab.

The newspapers and magazines that will feature these ads include the Financial Times, the Daily Mail, the Guardian Mobile magazine, and T3. The ruling also ordered Apple to post a notice about the court's decision on its website and keep it live for six months. It's an order that obviously didn't sit well with Apple's lawyer Richard Hacon. He told the court today, “No company likes to refer to a rival on its website."

Apple has already said it plans to appeal the original ruling earlier this month, so it may be a little while before UK residents see these rather embarrassing ads.

Judge Colin Birss is a complicated man :lol:

I tell you what though, a few more instances like that and he might cut the nonsense out of the patent industry over here!

They’ll drop it on their newly acquired apple.co.uk domain, which no one will go to. I doubt that many people got to apple.com/uk apart from the store section.

They'll have to be careful, the Court won't be too pleased if the message doesn't get significant prominence.

The ruling says which page they've got to put it on and also says they have to take out prominent adverts in several newspapers & magazines. This isn't one they'll be able to bury, because the judge was smart enough to think of all the obvious tricks.

I think it's effing hilarious. It's like a naughty schoolboy being forced to say sorry by teacher. I may buy a newspaper that day for the first time in years.

Update : Apple are appealing. Bah.
