For me too. Especially this part: "the European Court of Justice held that European patents are national rights that must be enforced nationally"
What i'm not sure of, as i stated in my previous post when i replied to Ochyming, is if Apple is suing for a patent registered under the EPC or not. If Apple is suing under international laws for patents registered in the US, which i strongly believe, then EPC doesn't apply to this case and thus it fells under the common criteria that i pointed out. That's why i said it would be nice to see the exact Court's ruling: to see the parties involved (if it's Apple USA suing Samsung Europe (which may very well have headquarters in Germany), or other subsidiaries involved). Also the ruling would break light onto which patents were violated, and where were these patents registered.
I tend to repeat myself only because others seem not to see or read my entire posts: The way i see it Apple (US or Germany) went after Samsung's subsidiary in Germany that acts as the mother company for the whole EU distribution. If that's the case then it makes sense that the legal action was promoted in Germany.
They copied the hell out to the iPad. I have the black and it looks identical to this Samsung with the exception of the home button. They are a slimy company!
Actually just about every Android tablet looks like that, so does the BlackBerry Playbook in fact just about every tablet today has rounded corners, and a bezel because that is how the display's are made. Does the BB PlayBook infringe on the iPad? NO it does not.
The battle is just a way to keep competition from the market.

At least he was trying to make an argument. Saying that he has no idea of what he's talking about hardly pushed the discussion forward.

No, he wasn't trying to make an argument. He was parroting the same lies that they all copy/paste.
