http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/08/samsung-evidence2.jpg As much as Apple would love for Kwon Oh-hyun to turn up at court and tearfully confess to being a copycat, that’s probably not going to happen. Instead, Cupertino’s lawyers are burrowing through Samsung’s history in search of a legal smoking gun, and one of their latest submissions has been presented as just that. It’s a 132-page document written in 2010 by Sammy engineers that directly compares the iPhone against the Galaxy S and makes recommendations about how the latter should be more like the former. The excerpt shown above, which focuses on the aesthetics of icons on the rival handsets, even appears to contain advice about how Samsung should copy Apple without appearing to copy them so much, whereas the full document embedded after the break reveals how all-encompassing the internal guidance was. On the flip-side, Samsung may well argue that any responsible company should compare itself to its competition in this manner, and you can bet there’s an army of lawyers beavering away right now to make that sound convincing.
Re: Apple seizes on Samsung internal document as proof of mimicry
I am on Samsung’s side…I hope they win
It is true what the article says…they could very well argue the point that any responsible company would compare to its competition…that is what ALL companies do! All the biggies anyways…
There are so many phones that look like each other these days…I don’t understand what all the fuss is about
Re: Apple seizes on Samsung internal document as proof of mimicry
This is kind of funny and I totally agree with Aaliyah. Isn't that what ALL companies do? Make a product that has all the qualities the competition product has and more. There are companies that don't even hide that fact that they are literally copying a competitions product exactly but will change one minutiae detail so there won't be any legal battles.
Re: Apple seizes on Samsung internal document as proof of mimicry
So we will soon find out who is the winner…the lawyers have already presented their closing arguments and now we are just awaiting the Jury’s decision on this case…
I actually feel nervous for Samsung :bummer: Paying $3 billion in damages is HUGE!!!
