Apple v. Samsung: Samsung records a win in the UK
Monday, July 9, 2012 at 11:56AM Following Samsung's successful attempt for temporary relief from an injunction against their Galaxy Nexus smart phone, and Samsung's unsuccessful attempt for temporary relief from an injunction against their Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet, see Bloomberg, British High Court Judge Colin Birss has issued a judgment that at p. 39 states, with emphasis added:
The informed user’s overall impression of each of the Samsung Galaxy Tablets is the following. From the front they belong to the family which includes the Apple design; but the Samsung products are very thin, almost insubstantial members of that family with unusual details on the back. They do not have the same understated and extreme simplicity which is possessed by the Apple design. They are not as cool. The overall impression produced is different.
...
The Samsung tablets do not infringe Apple’s registered design No. 000181607-0001.

Bloomberg reports that Judge Birss has ordered Apple to publish a notice on its website for six months, as well as in several newspapers and magazines, that the Samsung Galaxy tablets do not infringe Apple's designs, to "correct the damaging impression" that Samsung copied Apple's product.
