Apple itself does not straightaway express that the Samsung Tab does not re-create the iPad , only that the High Court Justice of England and Wales “ rule that Samsung Electronic ( UK ) Limited ’s Galaxy Tablet Computernamely the Galaxy Tab 10.1 , Tab 8.9 and Tab 7.7 do notinfringe Apple ’s registered design No . 0000181607 - 0001″
The apology then run on to have several not - so - subtle excavation at Samsung , by quote the judge :
In the ruling , the jurist made several important point comparing the designs of the Apple and Samsung ware :
“ The uttermost simplicity of the Apple design is striking . Overall it has undecorated flat surface with a photographic plate of crank on the front all the way out to a very flimsy rim and a blank back . There is a frizzy edge around the brim and a compounding of curves , both at the corners and the sides . The design reckon like an object the informed user would need to pick up and retain . It is an understated , smooth and simple production . It is a cool design . ”
“ The informed user ’s overall impression of each of the Samsung Galaxy Tablets is the pursual . From the front they belong to the family which includes the Apple design ; but the Samsung products are very thin , almost insubstantial member of that syndicate with unusual details on the back . They do not have the same unpretentious and extreme simple mindedness which is own by the Apple design . They are not as cool . ”
Not on the button the most solemn apology , and it ’s clear that Apple does not agree with the ruling .
