Apple was ordered by a judge to publish a notice on its U.K. website and in British newspapers alerting people to a ruling that Samsung Electronics Co. didn’t copy designs for the iPad.

The notice should outline the July 9 London court decision that Samsung’s Galaxy tablets don’t infringe Apple’s registered designs, Judge Colin Birss said yesterday. It should be posted on Apple’s U.K. home page for six months and published in newspapers and magazines to correct any impression the South Korea-based company was copying Apple’s product, Birss said.

As well as Apple’s website, the company must pay for notices in the Financial Times, the Daily Mail, Guardian Mobile magazine, and T3, according to a draft copy of the order provided by Samsung’s lawyers.

Apple should use the wording of the ruling in the ads "not as cool as the iPad".

They could actually turn it to their advantage if handled right, depends how far they can/will push it I spose...

Presumably the answer to that is 'not far enough to get the head of Apple UK in jail for contempt of court'. The courts really, really don't like people taking the mickey out of them.
