After decades of stealing from Apple and other companies, Samsung complaining about this is sheer irony.

  It's not if the target of complain is a Chinese company. A mistake people often make in moral reasoning is to assume that it's only qualitative, descriptive aspects of an action (ie excluding such things as who did it, whom was it done to, etc) that is relevant to how they should be assessed morally

    Was this supposed to make any sense? It might be the first non bigoted remark you've made on this post, but can't tell because it is completely incomprehensible.

  How do you feel about Apple's theft of Xerox's innovation in the late 70's or Obama's "pardoning" of Apple IP theft (ie, Samsung's USITC victory), that would have banned iPhone imports from China in 2012?

    > Apple's theft of Xerox's innovation in the late 70's Apple was invited to visit Xerox in exchange for pre-IPO stock purchase rights. Xerox's management didn't know the value of what they had and willingly gave it away.

      This. Apple didn’t steal anything from xerox, they bought it. Sure they got a good deal, but it was still a legal transaction.

        Apple didn't buy anything from Xerox -- and there was no licensing between the two companies. Xerox filed a lawsuit in fact in the late 1980's to prevent Apple scaring potential customers with Apple's copyright claims (eg, Apple's lawsuit against MS which Apple eventually lost).

      There was no such "exchange" -- Xerox's investment in Apple did not depend on Apple's visit to Xerox, which had been open to public demonstration throughout.
