Part of having a differentiated product is avoiding market confusion. While there is certainly some back-and-forth between Google and Apple, are there those here that don't think Samsung may have gone too far in mimicking so much about the iPhone/iPad experience? (From using Apple's icons in their sales displays to photoshopping iPhone screenshots for their phone, along with similar packaging and unboxing, ... the list goes on.)
Yes, some sharing is good for consumers, but at some point the knockoffs need to be called on it. The whole discussion boils down to where that line is.
- eridius 15y agoThere was an article recently about how, in a courtroom, a judge held up an iPad and a Samsung tablet and asked the Samsung lawyers to identify which was their tablet, and they couldn't. I think that's a clear indication that Samsung hurtled over the line. (I'd provide a link but I'm on a flaky connection right now. It was on reddit, and probably on HN as well).
