Apple Inc. on Friday posted a notice on its UK website admitting that Samsung's tablets do not infringe on its iPad design, but tucked it away in a hard-to-find place.
To uphold a UK court's ruling to post the notice, Apple inserted a line saying "Samsung/Apple UK judgment" at the very bottom of the website, next to "Terms of Use" and "Private Policy." When users click onto it, it opens a page outlining the ruling that sided with Samsung.
"On 9th July 2012, the High Court of Justice of England and Wales ruled that Samsung Electronics Limited's Galaxy tablet computer, namely the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Tab 8.9 and Tab 7.7 do not infringe Apple's registered design," it said.
However, the Cupertino-based firm added that the judge made "several important points comparing the designs of the Apple and Samsung products," elaborating that the Korean company's gadgets were "not as cool."
Apple also mentioned other court cases such as the one in its home turf where it said the US jury found Samsung "guilty" of patent infringement: "So while the UK court did not find Samsung guilty of infringement, other courts have recognized in the course of creating its Galaxy tablet, Samsung willfully copied Apple's far more popular iPad."
Similar statements are expected to be printed in five different media outlets today, such as the Financial Times, the Daily Mail, Guardian Mobile magazine and T3.
