Apple vs Samsung, court orders Samsung to show Apple 5 new phones

Did the judge rule they have to apologise? I thought they just had to advertise the fact Samsung didn't infringe Apple copyright.

Maybe apologise is too strong a description but my understanding was that Apple had to admit that they had wrongly accused Samsung of copying their designs.
 
I think the new statement complies with the judge's ruling fine, it's an admittance they lost the case and didn't infringe. I don't think an apology is needed.

They just need to put the same message on the official site now and job done. Baffles me why they couldn't just do this the first time round... then this would be over and done with.
 
That advert posting looks ok, the point of the order wasn't to apologise but to dispel uncertainty reagrding Samsung's products, namely that they are non infrginging and considered as such across the EU.

Apple's courtroom troubles cast gloomy shadow on a day that should've been remembered for the launch of the iPad mini.

Apple fought in court against Mexican telecom iFone over similarly sounding names. Arrogance or ignorance, Apple didn't have much of case there, as the iFone trademark was registered four years before the first records of the iPhone name.

Finally, to make things even worse for Apple, Samsung is requesting Apple VP of Marketing Phil Schiller for questioning in court regarding Apple’s seek of ban for various Samsung products. Samsung claims Schiller’s newest written testimony includes statements that are "new or in conflict with his testimony at trial".

Apple tried to fight this, but the judge ordered Phil Schiller to make himself available for questioning before November 5th.

The end of what? They have enough cash they could coast for years on back to back failures and it's unlikely they're going to experience anything worse than a gradual erosion of their market share in certain markets.

Bit like Blackberry;), but hopefully soon with the imminent release of BB10...they could very well be on their way back up. One thing is for certain, BB10 looks a lot more innovative than iOS at the moment.

Nothing and i mean nothing would please me more to see Apple lose most of their market share with the way they have been acting lately.
 
Nothing wrong with the link but they were asked to write an apology and they didn't so were asked a second time and haven't again. They're taking the **** out of the UK justice system and should now be found in contempt of court. See how funny they find it then.
 
From my understanding on what I've read, they were never asked or told to write an apology, they were instructed to state that Samsung had not copied them, which they have now complied with.

It seems only news and tech outlets say they were told to apologise.
