[Gizmodo] Apple’s Going to Have to Pay All of Samsung’s Legal Fees Because It Didn’t Apologize...

And Apple's apology to Samsung as order by the UK court just got even messier. After posting an apology they had to rewrite, and then pushing the rewritten one down the page with Javascript, a UK court has ordered Apple to pay Samsung's legal fees in full to even things out.

The Court of Appeal of England and Wales has ordered Apple to pay Samsung's legal fees on an "indemnity basis," saying that Apple's initial apology was "false and misleading" by virtue of referring to other cases outside of the UK (which Apple had won) to spin the whole thing in a sort of positive way. Typically losers already have to pay for the court costs of the winner in the UK, but this ruling takes that to the fullest extent of the law by basically extending it to cover every nickel and dime. It's intended to serve as a little punishment to Apple for being rather snide about the whole thing. This should bring the whole saga to a close. Hopefully.

Right now I'm feeling proud to be in the UK!

Well done judges!

That's what happens when you attempt to circumvent a court order. You end up getting punished for it.

Still.. apple basically didn't have to apologize to Samsung. I feel that this should be tied to a re-implication of the apology but instead of allowing it to be hidden, force them to use like size 40 font in banner mode on the top of their web page.

I like the verdict but it's probably peanuts to them tongue.gif

Apple says come at me bro.

Who cares people. Move on, this is the type of petty news that should not be encouraged here on the forums. Serves only to fuel fan wars.

The problem is that the judge gave them 2 chances to fix the issue. They chose not to, so they don't get another chance. Now the punishment is monetary and very straight forward.
