Great news for Samsung but I imagine Apple will place this message on there own adverts in massive 1 pixel text at the bottom.

Awesome news for Samsung, I despise Apple....

I wish the judge would have also said in huge text in the top of the page, it would have made my day. Apple will more then likely hide it so well in small text that even using a magnifying glass you wouldn't find it.

Makes you wonder doesn't it. I am surprised that Apple didn't try to sue the BBC for its use of the letter 'i' in the word iPlayer, considering that Apple use the letter 'i' for things like iPad (pad), iPhone (phone), iPod (mp3/4 player).

Obviously, their use of the letter 'i' is some sort of trademark, since phone, pad and pod are already words of the English language.

Normally, when people copy a concept, you endeavour to do better. No one can possibly protect ALL ideas and concepts, and a certain amount of copying is naturally going to happen. After all, the new colonies still speak English, French and Spanish, with a smattering of Dutch and Portugese. No NEW languages have evolved in those colonies. They have copied what has gone before.

Also, imagine a world where AMD were not allowed to copy the Intel instruction set, meaning that the only company who could make a PC was Intel. Our machines would have still been overpriced. Having competition means that pricing is more competitive. If Apple were the only ones to make a smartphone, who knows how expensive it would be.

Not as silly as it sounds, yep. Microsoft got the shaft twice, now. First for naming the Modern UI Metro, and now for the name SkyDrive.
