Well actually Google didn't invent the omnibar nor computer based mapping.
Also there is a difference between copying a single feature like the omnibar and copying every single element of a product e.g. UI, hardware design, packaging, dock connector etc. Samsung was much more blatant about it. It's akin to the difference between stealing elements from a Louis Vuitton bag versus creating a complete knockoff.
I don't think the concept is hard to understand. And clearly the jury gets it as well.
- haberman 14y agoApple didn't actually invent touch-based smartphones. Google Maps was a huge leap over the competition of the time. I'm pretty sure it was the first to allow pan/zoom of the map by dragging, dynamically loading of tiles as needed with XMLHttpRequest. All websites up until then had pan/zoom buttons that would completely reload the website.
- coecoventures 14y agoThere was a financial relationship between Apple and Google for the use of Google maps. That shouldn't be forgotten.
