Apple will just have to be content with being cool.

And so the trend is set for most markets outside the US, I suspect.

ITT: People calling for Apple to pull out of the UK.

In a patent war only one group can ever win - the lawyers.

I can't imagine Apple ever complying with that ridiculous order. Who do they think they are in the UK?!

Apple don't have a choice, they lost the appeal. If Apple want to continue to operate in the UK and avoid financial penalties they must adhere to the law.

I am interested to see how they are going to word this.

Taken from BBC: 

One of the judges - who noted he owned an iPad himself - explained why Apple had lost the appeal in his ruling.

"Because this case (and parallel cases in other countries) has generated much publicity, it will avoid confusion to say what this case is about and not about," wrote Sir Robin Jacob.

"It is not about whether Samsung copied Apple's iPad. Infringement of a registered design does not involve any question of whether there was copying: the issue is simply whether the accused design is too close to the registered design according to the tests laid down in the law."

"So this case is all about, and only about, Apple's registered design and the Samsung products."

Interesting how most rulings outside of Apples home turf seem to go against apple. Personally I feel that at the start Apple was right, their ideas were ripped off. Sadly the newer Samsung devices are not nearly as much a copy and so the rulings on past wrongs are going to be harder & harder to fight.

Don't agree with the advertising ruling in this case, but had the same ruling gone in Apples favour most people here would be celebrating it.

I believe Apple was right, but still I find absolutely ridiculous how people like urbanverb react.
Chinese, Korean, German, English courts are all wrong and only the American court that found the American company Apple right against the non-American company Samsung would hold the Truth?

Come on. It scares me that people might be so closed-minded.

I'm in the UK and think the advertising ruling is disgustingly wrong. I think Apple should ignore that ruling and pay whatever fine is thrown at them for doing so. The sooner Apple don't have to rely on Samsung for anything the better.
