On October 26th, I wrote that Apple complied to a U.K. court order with their own twist and it seems that it wasn't good enough for the U.K. judge that issued the order.
According to The Guardian Apple must now publish a correction within 48 hours on their website. It seems U.K. wasn't pleased that Apple mentioned court rulings from Germany and the U.S. in their original letter. The part that seems to anger the U.K. judge the most is reposted below:
However, in a case tried in Germany regarding the same patent, the court found that Samsung engaged in unfair competition by copying the iPad design. A U.S. jury also found Samsung guilty of infringing on Apple's design and utility patents, awarding over one billion U.S. dollars in damages to Apple Inc. So while the U.K. court did not find Samsung guilty of infringement, other courts have recognized that in the course of creating its Galaxy tablet, Samsung willfully copied Apple's far more popular iPad.
