UK court says Apple notice was 'false and misleading,' orders full repayment of Samsung's legal costs

Apple publishes 'Samsung did not copy' statement through gritted teeth

Nothing truly says "I'm sorry" like a large sum of cash, and Apple will have to open up its wallet to Samsung thanks to "false and misleading" information it published in a court-ordered statement. A UK high court ordered Cupertino to post an apology on its British website stating that the Galaxy Tab didn't copy the iPad, which it did. However, according to a new judgement by the the Court of Appeal of England and Wales, it also added statements "calculated to produce confusion," like references to other unrelated judgements. Though Apple issued a second apology, the court is taking the unusual step of forcing it to pay all of Samsung's legal fees for the entire case on an "indemnity basis" -- in other words, to compensate the Korean maker for losses suffered due to the original statement. If you'd like to parse the legalese for yourself, hit the source.
