Is this new ruling going to restrict design of touchscreen phones? There is not much that you can do with the design of a full touchscreen phone, it is always going to have a resemblance to the iPhone and vice versa. If no phone can look like the iPhone then soon we will only have the iPhone. Most TV's look similar but you dont see Sony sueing Toshiba because their 32" TV looks like Sony's

phone design is pretty much restricted to rectangles because the screens are rectangles-has apple got the sole rites to use that shape of screen.
its seems to me that apple are trying to force the competition out of the american market.
if they use the ruling to go after other weaker financialy android manufacturers such as HTC then that might happen.

As I recall there were many touch screen phones about with similar shape since before Apple made any phones. And since when can they ban anything going on sale in America?? Surely that's up to Government not Apple?? Slide to unlock was on Google Android ages ago not stolen by Samsung. Android and Mircosoft use the double tap zoom and bounce in the browser feature not just Samsung.

Its not really about rectangles btw. It was obvious samsung was trying hard to rip on apple's ui and overall looks(based on the documents). There isn't any single device from sony or htc or nokia or even lg that resembles iphone both as hardware and ui wise as much as s1 and s2 do.
Anyways this isn't the end, they will be appealing and I don't see this victory as anything huge for apple. All the apple haters will probably end up getting more of samsung now.
@bonovox,
Microsoft has licensed it from apple.

I'm having doubt whether we can really see Apple embarrassing themselves in public now. Should we pray hard for this to happen?
It's happened before with Lemmigs, and recently pulled genius TV ads. They've survived and thrived!!
I think Samsung's defeat to the tune of just over a billion US dollars is more of a hurt than a public announcement.
^edited "Damaungs" to Samsung's (man, iOS auto complete really needs an overhaul!)

BBCNews - Apple Loses UK Appeal On Earlier Rulilng.
Sky News.
"If Apple ultimately loses this case, it will have to suffer the indignity of publishing the ads and publicly stating that Samsung did not copy its design."
Looks like they might have to display those ads after all.

Just read about it on Reuters. Good for Apple. Only in the US would they get away with broad ranging patent suits which have little bearing on true copyright infringement.

Thank you once again the British Justice System !
I hope they take it to the supreme court and get the same reply. That would be 3 times unlucky in the UK.
How embarrassing !
