• Apple May Have Summited Flawed Evidence Against Samsung in Europe

[QUOTE]According to an investigation by Webwereld.nl, a Dutch IDG publication, Apple may have submitted false evidence to the German courts as part of their case against Samsung. Last week, Apple won a preliminary injunction on Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1, blocking the sale of the tablet throughout Europe. But, a photograph submitted as evidence suggesting that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is practically identical to the iPad 2 appears to be doctored. [IMG]http://cdn.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Apple_evidence.jpg[/IMG] On page 28 of the complaint filed with the Düsseldorf court that has since granted the injunction, there’s an image of the iPad 2 and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 side by side to show the uncanny resemblance. However, the image provided by Apple of the Samsung tablet has had its aspect ratio distorted. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 measures 256.7mm x 175.3mm with an aspect ratio of 1.46. But, the tablet that’s pictured has an aspect ratio of 1.36, making it 8% wider than the actual slate. In this way, it appears more similar to the iPad 2′s 1.30 aspect ratio. This flaw, whether intentional or by mistake could have a significant consequence on the case. Lawyer with Dutch firm Kos Morel Vos & Schaap, Arnout Groen, is baffled by the flub. Groen says that the obligation of submitting complete and truthful evidence to the judge is especially crucial when it comes to a situation like this where evidence is being presented by only one side of the litigating parties.

Even if Apple did do it by accident then that is one major fuck up.
Excellent news.
Good going Apple :v: Wonder what will happen.
Saw this on the front page. Apple May Have Su.. first thing that came into my mind was sue
Seriously Apple, fuck off already. Nobody with a working brain likes you anymore.
Apple is so boned.
Don't Samsung make most of the components that go into the iPhone anyway?

That case is going to be thrown out :v:
[QUOTE=areolop;31749820]That case is going to be thrown out :v:[/QUOTE] It was a stupid case to begin with. Obviously it was intended to thwart Samsung's chance at the market.

i like how they used the android app menu to make it look more like a copy cat when its just a little sub menu
I bet the person who granted the injunction will be super pissed. Apple is like, the most anti-competition company in the world probably because they got stomped by Microsoft and never want to relive that ordeal. Just goes to show the sad state of Intellectual property that a company can kick and scream like a baby and end all competition.

It kind of works out into a way where most companies won't sue you if they know you can sue them. But Apple is prime on suing everyone on things that matter.
And they only did it to halt the initial sales-boom of the Galaxy Tab. Just shows that they're actually afraid of the competition being better AND cheaper than them. BUT of-course Apple refuses to actually out-do the competition with a better product, and instead rely on skewed advertising and suing.

Loss of such lawsuit should mean significant financial fine for the whoever filed it.
So... Apple didn't buy a Samsung tablet to compare, just used pictures?
to be honest, apple has cool "looking" products, but over their politics of sueing everyone I prefer samsung (I even refer samsung if apple wouldn't sue anyone). Just the way it works.
Good, Apple needs to fuck off with all these lawsuits.
Apple's been getting fucked lately [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1116351-Apple%C2%92s-iTunes-Sued-By-Artist-for-Pirating-Music[/url] [url]http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1117241-Apple-Is-Not-THAT-Valuable[/url] this is just on the first page
