Groklaw report on Apple v. Samsung start of trial
- anigbrowl 14y ago[The issue of trade dress is] why, as Williams reports, the Samsung attorney is telling the jury that people know when they are buying a Samsung tablet or phone that isn't an Apple product. They are not confused, even if the tablet is a rectangle with rounded corners. People are not that easily confused. If folks are buying Samsung phones or tablets thinking they are Apple iPhones or iPads, then Samsung has a problem. That is what is at issue. One wonders if the current TV ad campaign featuring a hapless consumer who has just bought a computer that he thinks is "basically a Mac" and who is put right by an Apple 'genius' is just a coincidence.
