“Apple Inc. won’t have to publish a notice telling customers that Samsung Electronics Co. didn’t copy its tablet designs until after an appeal in the intellectual property dispute is heard in October, a U.K. court ruled,” Jeremy Hodges and Kit Chellel report for Bloomberg.
“Apple had been ordered on July 18 to put a message on its U.K. website and take out advertisements in British newspapers describing a London court ruling that Samsung’s Galaxy devices didn’t imitate the iPad,” Hodges and Chellel report. “That would have caused Apple ‘irreparable and disproportionate harm,’ said the company’s lawyer Anthony Grabiner today, arguing the order should be delayed pending an appeal.”
Hodges and Chellel report, “Judge David Kitchin agreed in a ruling today that the company would suffer lasting damage to its image. ‘It would not be right to condemn Apple to such a fate before it has had a chance to argue its case.’ Judge Colin Birss said in a July 9 ruling that Samsung’s tablets were unlikely to be confused with the iPad because they are ‘not as cool.’ They were distinctive enough not to infringe Apple’s registered designs, he said.

MacDailyNews Take: Colin Birss is obviously batshit insane. It’s good to see a sane judge on the case.

Colin Briss is a fsckup. Needs to get his head out of his ass and go flip burgers or fish and chips in rag head town.
Comeon Apple, the judge is basically giving you an opportunity to say how bad the copy was and how uncool it ended up.
I can see adverts using the “PC Guy” and the “Mac Guy” doing all kinds of adverts based on this gold mine of a scenario that Briss has given us.
Judges in UK must eat too much Wheaties in the morning causing their brains to seize up and babble nonsense in court. And I bet he doesn’t shower in the morning too. The British are like that.

Not sure what Bomber’s left nut is on about, but England is truly infested with Windows. Same goes for BlackBerry and Android. Only good Brit is Jony Ive and he left for America. Maybe America can send the Bomber nut to England. Just a thought!
‘The British are like that.’
How’re his worship’s teeth looking today?
In my somewhat sheltered 3 decades living in England, I’m afraid I’ve never come across ‘Wheaties’. I must have been spending too long in the shower – could you elaborate on what they are, BLN…?

It’s those goofy wigs the judges wear over there. They’re too tight and it cuts off blood flow to their brains.

Much as I’m an Apple fan, I find their recent tendency to attempt to litigate away the competition risible to the point of disgust. It’s incredibly damaging to their image, no matter what the outcome.
The judge was right. The iPad is much cooler than Samsung’s tablets.
Apple should be competing on the merits of their products, not in the court room. Taking competitors to court stands the danger of giving the impression that the iPad is the weaker product, and can only stand a chance in the market if the competition is not allowed to be sold. The fact is though that the iPad is, and remains, streets ahead of the competition.
This court action is unnecessary and embarrassing. If they continue in this vein it may, in the long term, be their undoing.
