If apple doesn't acknowledge loses from foreign courts, why should Samsung?
Are you saying that Apple isn't complying with international court orders ?
Care to provide some evidence of this.

#32I feel sorry for Samsung. I don't know how anyone can buy an Apple product without feeling ashamed anymore. Yes, Samsung made products that looked kind of similar to Apple ones. Big whoop. Competition over litigation, I say.
I'm glad that the laws reward those who invest time and money to be first to market with new ideas. These laws also force the competition to not merely copy, but to actually compete with new ideas.

#33I seriously can't believe how much money Apple has been able to troll out of those rounded corners and that end-of-list overscroll effect. And now, to top it off, iOS 7 is built on the holo-principles of Android. It's almost like Apple is doing it merely to taunt its foreign competitors, saying very, very clearly: "Sorry guys. I'm untouchable". Utterly disgusting. At least their attempts to outright ban products have…
At this point, for most people watching this from outside of the US, it looks like protectionism racket disguised as a legal verdict. Samsung is eating Apple's lunch and the US is trying to stop that. The US gov keeps pushing for more free market worldwide (which is great), except that when one of its industries or great companies is in danger because of international competition, protectionism is the way. How can th…

If that is so, how would you explain that Apple has gotten several injunctions (Australia, Germany, Netherlands) and won lawsuits against Samsung outside of the US? Even in South Korea a court ruled that Samsung had infringed on Apple’s patents. Also, let’s not forget, Apple is far from the only company suing Samsung over mobile patents.

How can you be taken seriously when you post such illogical dribble ? To imply that US judges have been 'bought off' by Apple or by the US government is a huge claim to make that deserves substantiation.
Except Apple has been this successful in court against Samsung ONLY in US. Not in Japan. Not in Europe.

I feel sorry for Samsung's competitors. And that includes all the other industries Samsung executes the same "innovation by duplication" approach. Not everyone Samsung copies is a huge multinational: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24023430
Just for fair argument sake, Apple copies too.

You obviously haven't read the Galaxy S1 design docs then. http://www.scribd.com/doc/102317767/Samsung-Relative-Evaluat...
I just don't see what's wrong with it. Evaluating a competitor's product and improving on/comparing with your own is what any company should be doing... Especially since a lot of the comparisons are pretty much statements of the obvious, too. I'd bet Samsung didn't really have a well developed UX design group behind their software/UI initially. Then they were brought to their senses by a competitor and did a thorough…
You have to be careful when evaluating your product vs a competitor, when you're talking about HCI - especially when you know that your competitor (Apple) has sued over look and feel before.
I'd bet that had Samsung done an analysis of the iPhone that was evaluating the first-principles and then had a separate team work from those first-principles to design a clean UI they would have been much better off. Really though, having emails and presentations that say "we need to make our phone more like the iPhone" is pretty damning. It seems like they've done a better job recently when they just go and do their own thing.

It isn't 'trolling' if you are actually using the patents in your products. You don't have to agree with the lawsuit, but please quit diluting the term.
While I can see cases where a sharp divide mightn't make sense (token feature or token product) this is prominent look & feel in a flagship product. Which is to say "I agree" - I have mostly negative sentiments about patents in general and this one in particular, it's not really fair to call this "trolling".

You feel "sorry" for a multi-billion dollar family owned conglomerate that's existed since 1938?
Though I don't believe anything "intellectual" should be property, I buy products because they are good, period. As long as Apple continues to make better products, I'll continue to buy them without any sense of shame whatsoever.

@dba7dba You are hellbanned. This means that most users cannot read your comments.

#40It's unbelievable how much money Apple is extorting from other companies for a simple UI technique. Disgusting.
