Apple Grudgingly Posts Notice Saying Samsung Did Not Copy the iPad in the UK

As directed by a UK court, Apple has published a notice on its UK website, stating that the court has ruled that Samsung did not copy the iPad while designing its Galaxy tablet.

"On 9th July 2012 the High Court of Justice of England and Wales ruled that Samsung Electronic (UK) Limited’s Galaxy Tablet Computer, namely the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Tab 8.9 and Tab 7.7 do not infringe Apple’s registered design No. 0000181607-0001," writes Apple.

Besides stating that simple fact, Apple takes great care to quote the most embarrassing (for Samsung) parts of the court's decision, including the one that explicitly states that Samsung's Galaxy Tab is "not as cool" as the iPad.

In a final act of defiance, Apple also mentions the fact that the courts in Germany and the U.S. decided differently.
