[ In cross-examination, Mr. Forstall said Eddy Cue, now head of Apple's Internet services efforts, had used a 7-inch Samsung tablet for a time, and sent an email to Chief Executive Tim Cook that he believed "there will be a 7-inch market and we should do one." ]
Sounds like everybody came up with similar, unprotectable stuff, with great inspiration from each other. Not guilty. Next case!
- mtgx 14y agoExactly. That's how competition is born. Sure you shouldn't be able to copy a product to a point where it's very easy to confuse the 2, but anything besides that should be allowed. "Similar" products are how markets are built. Competition by default means that one company's product is more similar than different to another company's product, in a given market for a certain type of product. And the differences are just "competitive advantages".
