This whole thing is pretty ridiculous. Shame on Apple for going after Samsung so hard and shame on Samsung for not making a superior product that doesn't just copy the ipad but blow it out of the water.
- Natsu 15y agoSad thing is that now the iPad is banned in Germany now. I don't care who did what first. I really wish they could just call off all the lawyers and settle this nonsense once and for all. Every dollar they spend on lawyers is one less they can use to make wonderful products. Every lawsuit takes us one step further from being able to make great things.
- mhansen 15y agoThe iPad is not banned in Germany.
- Natsu 15y agoYet. See this other story on the HN front page right now: http://thenextweb.com/apple/2011/12/09/motorola-wins-patent-suit-against-apple-in-germany-iphoneipad-to-be-banned/ http://thenextweb.com/apple/2011/12/09/motorola-wins-patent-... If Motorola posts bond, though, it will be. Though there will, of course, be appeals and all that, so it might be overturned before it's enforced.
- voidr 15y agoWhat did Samsung copy exactly? rounded corners? did Apple invent those? The iPad is simple, it doesn't really have unique characteristics in terms of design, I don't think simplicity can be patented.
