Last week, the people from Apple partially respected a decision of a court in Great Britain and they published a document on their own website acknowledging that Samsung did not copy the design of the iPad tablets. The document published by the Apple people did not satisfy the Samsung people, but neither did the court that issued the decision, so the UK Court of Appeal he obliged Apple to correct the document, to include only the basic information without referring to other processes, and to publish that text on the front page of the website (not in a hidden page) but this together with its publication in the Financial Times, The Guardian, Daily Mail, T3 stores and Mobile stores.
Basically, Apple did what it wanted, it published a text full of references to some of the lawsuits won by it, in order to minimize the loss in Great Britain, it published only a small link on the front page and did not publish the text in newspapers with a large circulation which acknowledged that Samsung did not copy the iPad design. Although Apple's lawyers stated that it takes 14 days for a new text to be made and published, the judges were understanding and set a reasonable deadline of 48 hours in which the changes must be made, before any sanction is imposed against the company.
Apple partially ignored a court decision, it did what it wanted and I'm glad to see that it wasn't the judges in Great Britain who sanctioned its attitude.
