Samsung is only playing tit-for-tat. I don't think they've succeeded in stopping any Apple products being marketed, whereas Apple have stopped Samsung devices selling on the most ludicrous "look and feel" grounds. Apple has even gone to the extent of doctoring photos produced to European courts to make the Samsung tablet look more like theirs than it actually is.

Samsung has also got to contend with obvious bias against far eastern products in western (and particularly in US) courts. So... this is the only way they can respond given the bent system. I guess the inclusion of Apple in this is only to give the illusion of balance.

Granted the whole anachronistic patent thing is a nonsense and profoundly anti-consumer and anti-competitive. This particularly applies to software patents, which are a thinly disguised joke! A thorough overhaul is required, but this is surely not going to happen whilst American and European companies hold the upper hand.

But it's not working any longer! http://crave.cnet.co.uk/mobiles/apple-beaten-in-us-court-over-samsung-ban-bid-50006330/

Guess the judge might be one of the burgeoning number of "droid" owners.
