UK Court not amused with Apple's 'copy' notice, ordered to replace it

Last week Apple was ordered to make good on a July ruling to post a public notice on their UK website stating Samsung didn't infringe on the design of the iPad with their own Galaxy-branded tablets. Cupertino complied, albeit with...

UK's judicial system is so strange to me.

Honestly it's priceless I find, seeing Apple put in it's place for being the bully. Because they simply don't wish to properly comply is funny, since yes it's fine to make a joke but courts won't laugh. Especially when you're wasting their time, with your stupid foolishness.

I will admit they wanted to use the exact words from the judge, mostly to poke fun at Samsung. It's not very wise, to deviate from the orders given. Especially when you've been the bully of the playground, making sure everything goes your way or else. Ever since losing your visionary of the company, all we see is patent trolling to make profits.

So you're basically saying.. you can't admit defeat, so you'd rather sling mud? Get everyone else wrapped up in legal battles, so their products can't directly compete with yours? No wonder people shake their heads.

You diss the court... this is what you get.

Apple working almost 3 years on iPad but Samsung enough 2 weeks. LoL
poor Steve

I like this court. They don't put up with apple's BS

Its like I said on the first article of this thing....if I were a judge I should order to put it with the right words defined by the judge and if they dont do it right, the judge should write the whole text

Those from apple are a joke, ridiculous as their products price

I read the original post when it was put up. I also realised that Apple was trying to play a very very dangerous game with the UK Justice system. A polite and short response to the judges orders would have been the correct thing to do. Howeve, Apple being BUTTHURT over not being able to buy off this judge, meant that they had to save face somehow. Bullies are the same everywhere. Apple just happends to be a corporate bully. This Bully got put in their place by a Judge named Robin. So how does it feel Apple? How does it feel to get slapped around like that? No comment??

I guess the US judges should make Samsung post an apology for copying and stealing too. While they're at it, all the other judicial systems should make Samsung post an apology for copying and stealing since they've been judged to be guilty everywhere except for the UK.

Gotta love these judges

The last paragraph of Apple's original notice is embarrassing and childish beyond belief. It's as if it was written by a surly teenager, rather than legal professionals employed by a multinational corporation.

Why I don't buy Apple products = being number one isn't enough, you need to be a prick too.

Samsung dint copy anything our US court just sucks up to apple

Lolololol got to love all the apple haters. It is amusing to see everyone all over the internet rage and hate on apple. Any company that takes part in the patent wars like these to company's did is an unfavorable company in my book. As far as the phones go Samsung really did copy apple IMO, I really stop caring after they went all bickering teenager like. I don't like to buy products from either company.

Your right, Samsung used that whole "rectangle with rounded corners" concept (you know, that shape like most phones have or indeed playing cards!) which Apple clearly invented.

Actually if you looked at the final verdict, the "round" corners was not what Samsung was guilty of. They infringed on the touch interface and the icons they so willingly copied.

They should have been guilty of the look too though. If your own partner, Google that is, even told you to change your design, then it's pretty obvious that blatant copying was going on.

@ pah wah read this and look at the picture and tell me I am wrong. http://allthingsd.com/20120806/iphone-caused-crisis-of-design-at-samsung-memo/

Now the tablet suits I think both of them are just pissy little children.

Sorry, misread, now I can't seem to edit it out!!

Whoops, now I have done. Please ignore!!

Apple may be a giant company with stores in pretty much every civilized nation, but they can still be held in contempt of court. Apple decided to put their own "spin" on the judges ruling. That would normally force a judge to cite them for contempt. I dont know how Apple got away with the original posting. However, the damage has been done. Ppl have read the original statement Apple posted. Apple has finally shown its TRUE motiffs. Apple is not interested in bringing the public new and exciting devices. They just want to ride the Steve Jobs Express as long as possible grabbing as much cash as possible till the general consuming public realizes how crappy Apple has become. Atleast Samsung tries to innovate. Apple has been forcefeeding consumers the same crap in a different package for 5 years now. There is even a joke in the cellphone world. Apple Iphones are a "kindergarten" smartphone. Big boys and girls get Android. Apple needs to change their focus from punishing the public for NOT buying a Iphone, to something a bit more constructive, like making a better product.
