> They were warned by Apple and by Google to stop what they were doing, and they ignored those warnings.

You missed the part of the verdict where it says Google stock Android phone is infringing too. Also if Samsung is one of the less innovative and influential tech company, how come every iPhone is built with many Samsung parts including the retina screens?



We're talking about Samsung's hapless consumer product design, not their ability to manufacture LCD screens.

Furthermore, Samsung had every opportunity to stop this trial from getting as far as it did. They obviously didn't give a damn about the potential repercussions for other Android manufacturers or Android users.


The only stock Google phone that was on the list was Nexus S 4G, the Sprint variant. All other variants have been upgraded to Android >4.0 which removes the infringing features.


If we're going to complain about "obvious" innovations, an LCD screen, but with higher resolution, surely qualifies.
