It was reported today (The Verge and Slashgear) that Apple has apparently licensed patent '381' (the bounce effect when scrolling) to both Nokia and IBM. It was also revealed through court documents that Apple tried to license it to Samsung back in Nov 2010, but talks broke off and no deal was reached (no reason given).
This is one of the reasons the injunction was granted - the fact Apple attempted to license one of the patents to Samsung. If Apple was willing to license, then they are willing to accept a royalty tpye of settlement, which means an injunction isn't really necessary.
Kinda goes against the haters always trying to say Apple refuses to license and only looks for bans.

True, regarding the claims that Apple never licenses but we can't rule out Apple offered Samsung the same deal as Nokia, IBM and likely other licensees. It's possible Apple tried to stick it to Samsung the way Nokia tried to stick to Apple by charging an excessive amount for licensing.
You guys are a bit dumb, arent you? Your argument would make sense if Apple was suing for functionality which they're not, its a suit based on looks and you actually made a good point in Samsungs favor. Did Apple's lawyer have the Galaxy Tab and iPad on when he asked if they could differentiate them? No, why? Because the difference would've been obvious.
First, it wasn't Apple's lawyer - it was the judge.
Second, when you pick up a box with a tablet computer in it, is the computer off or on?
Face it - the fact that Samsung's lawyer couldn't tell the difference was a HUMONGOUS problem for Samsung - whether the tablets were on or off.
Malcom used X to indicate a dropping of the "white slavemaster name of 'Little'" and the 'X' stood in for the African-American name he would never know. Sometime after he found islam he changed his name to Malik el-Shabazz. I just wanted to retire my previous account but not start off anonymously as I've forged friendships on this forum over the years.

Because that music player looks alot like the SGS 2, they can say they're using a design they came up with years ago, that's how.

Apple's not suing for that. Apple's suing for their modern stuff.

It's a wonder these guys aren't calling for ice cream sandwich makers to sue Apple.

Ah, see, well, these guys have a staggered grid, you see. Apple's uses straight lines.

The ice cream sandwich is multi-touch, too, as noted by this kid touching it with multiple fingers.

Well, that clinches it, doesn't it? The iPad has 10 points of contact. This thing has 11.
Seems that ice cream sandwich makers ought to be suing Google for trading on their name.

But Samsung can show prior art.

Yea next lawsuit is Apple suing God for making a fruit named apple and shaping it like its insignia.

Wrong , its obviously not a HUMONGUS as a problem as you thought since they were allowed to continue selling the device.
Obviously not big as a problem as you thought since they were allowed to continue selling the device.

It figures you'd take a fun lil jab at you seriously lol. Btw for the record Samsung has IMO blatantly copied Apple in so many ways.

Yes, I do like to things to be factual whenever possible, though if you not my signature I am oddly referencing a Martin Luther King, Jr. speech.

They were? They sell it in Australia now?
