Apple to Publicly Apologize to Samsung in UK

The Brittish courts are not having any of Apple's nonsense. Not only did Apple lose their case against Samsung, they have to publicly announce that Samsung did not infringe.

The high courts in London ruled that Samsungs products did not, in fact, infringe upon Apple's design patents. This verdict was handed out in July and at that time Apple was also ordered to publicly announce that Samsung's devices do not infringe. 

The courts told Apple to place ads in the Daily Mail, Financial Times, T3 Magazine, etc. The idea is that Apple has damaged Samsung's image and must correct this. 

Apple did appeal the July court case, and now they have lost the appeal. I, for one, can not wait to see the ads. Aside from the magazine ads, Apple must display a banner on their U.K. website statubg that Samsung did not copy them. 

For more details on this case check out the BBC article

 Nice to see this happen. Apple tends to think they are all that and a bag of chips too. I wonder how many appels Apple will file to prevent this from happening.

I bet the apology will be in a tiny font somewhere in the bottom corner of the newspaper. I would still love to see a picture of that somewhere on the web.

Don't know if anyone noticed the "Brittish" typo under the image (it was annoying). Also this should be what apple faces in the US for being a patent troll.

I assume US people will be able to see this: http://www.apple.com/uk/legal-judgement/

 what a shitty apology, judge should force them to rephrase it so there is less bull shit in that statement

posted 6 months 3 weeks ago

 I agree. They somehow took the opportunity to use the court ruling as a means of advertising their products.
