Apple should have won a copyright case against Samsung clearly copying too much of the overall iPhone design. Instead Apple won a patent case which sucks for everyone, not just Samsung. A litigious Apple could use this win against other Android (and smart-phone in general) manufactures.
- camiller 14y agoDesign falls under Design Patent/trademark (Trade Dress) not copyright.

It feels like a painter suing another artist not for copying his painting but for using patented brush strokes to create it.
