Apple and Samsung have been tied up in a UK court for quite some time following Apple's allegations that Samsung infringed on its patents with the design of the Galaxy Tab. Apple may have won a massive jury verdict against Samsung in the United States after Samsung was found to have infringed on patents having to do with smartphones, but the same can't be said about tablets in the UK.
The judge presiding over the appeal case in the UK has stymied Apple and upheld the original ruling. The original ruling stipulated that Apple had to run advertisements in certain papers and magazines to "correct the damaging impression" that Samsung is a copy.
The appeals judge did not overturn the decision to force Apple to run apology ads. BBC reports that the judge noted, "Because this case (and parallel cases in other countries) has generated much publicity, it will avoid confusion to say what this case is about and not about.”
