One of the patent battle between Apple and the Samsung, seems to end. At least for the moment. Yesterday the court of first instance in England and Wales, presented by Judge Colin BIRSS (Colin Birss), issued the decision on which design tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab in no way violates belonging to Apple patents.
We can assume that the winner in this case, Samsung has emerged. While on the other hand, the judge's verdict was formulated rather in favor of Apple. Mr. BIRSS said that Apple is the right of the patented design of the Tablet PC is not violated, and consumers are unlikely to ever confuse the Galaxy Tab and iPad. According to the judge, Galaxy Tab lacks that laconic simplicity, which is at the iPad. «Tablet from Samsung is not so steep"- he summed up Colin Brissot.
Despite this conclusion, and that belongs to the iPad absolute superiority in popularity including media tablets, it appears that Samsung has nothing to blame. According to 9 to 5 Mac, That Samsung has created a tablet design Knight Ridder (1994) and Ozolin (2004). Do not forget about the Compaq product, TC1000 (2003). Here it would be appropriate to attribute the lack of original ideas is Apple.
The Court also noted that between the Galaxy Tab and the iPad there are lots of differences, visible to the naked eye, such as the design of the rear of the device or the thickness of the side profile. In general, the court found that Samsung adequately defended its intellectual property. Samsung is confident leadership, in turn, that Apple tends to monopolize the design of the tablet, so as not to allow other manufacturers to innovate and create her a worthy competition.
