The point though is that they filed this injunction in the EU's version of "patent Troll county" (we have the east district of texas) and they filed it 1) without informing samsung (and I'm assuming motorola) and 2) because of number 1, it was basically a one sided case.
I don't automatically side with Apple on every issue; however, this instance illustrates that the Samsung legal team was ill-prepared. They should have seen this coming after what happened in Australia.
... and the only good thing Motorola has ever done is the 68k CPU architecture ...
That's all, really?
What about the world first walkie-talkie? The first cell phone? Quantitative quality management system? A pioneer in transistor design at one point, too .... All of this impresses you less than the 68000 - one of a number of CISC microprocessors?

It's a really nice assembly language though - compared to a horror like x86 it's a joy.
Wow. Thanks for that link Daftari. The AI article implies this has to do with patent claims against Samsung, when it's apparently nothing of the sort. Looks like a system ripe for abuse.
That certainly is an interesting article. Be sure to read the comments from the IPprofessional, some dude that works on IP and knows stuff how PI work.
The article lead me to a 13 minute youtube clip showing a tablet from 1994. Never produced though.

The minimal design of the iPad is simply utilitarian IMO. How much does another tablet need to differ not to "copy" it? Apparently significantly different dimensions don't cut it. Does adding a chrome trim or changing the color change it enough combined with the dimension differences?
Related to that, this video is worth a well worth a view. All about an industry where copying is not only common but blatant. Yet the industry thrives.
To update another slow-moving suit thru the German courts, it's being reported today that Apple's attempts to ban the Xoom tablet (why bother?) will probably fail, and Apple predictably isn't happy.

Be sure to watch at least the first 5 minutes and from the 13-15 minute mark before tuning out. You're really not that busy.
Wow! Another good info. I like 'The Virtues of Copying' @ 7'00''
