Is this an iPad copy? No, says judge: it's not cool enough
How's that for the ultimate backhanded legal award? A judge in the UK handed a win to Samsung in an intellectual property dispute, calling the Galaxy Tab "not as cool" as the iPad, and therefore not likely to get confused with Apple's tablets. Adding insult to lawsuit win, Judge Colin Birss said that Samsung's slates "do not have the same understated and extreme simplicity which is possessed by the Apple design." The Galaxy Tabs are distinct from the iPad given their thinner designs and the "details" on the backs of the devices, according to the judge. If Apple's not happy with his too cool for suit ruling, he also gave Cupertino 21 days to appeal.UK Judge says Galaxy Tab 'not as cool' as iPad, awards Samsung win in design suit originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 09 Jul 2012 08:14:00 EDT.
