Apple sues Samsung for 'copying' the iPhone and iPad
"Rather than innovate and develop its own technology and a unique Samsung style for its smart phone products and computer tablets, Samsung chose to copy Apple's technology, user interface and innovative style in these infringing products."
The lawsuit was filed in the Northern District of California on Friday and seeks injunctions against Samsung, damages (both actual and punitive), and a finding that the infringement was willful. Lest we forget, the rarest outcome in such legal tussles is for an actual judgment to actually be handed down, so the greatest likelihood is that this will just lead to another round of grudging handshakes and licensing going one way with money going the other way, but still, it's fun to see the big dogs barking at each other.
Another aspect to these proceedings that shouldn't be overlooked is that, on the software front, they boil down to iOS versus Android (again). When Apple calls Samsung uninventive in its user interface, it's talking more about Android's perceived imitation of the iPhone's interface than whatever TouchWiz tweaks Samsung has slapped on top. And hey, if you're going to sue Google indirectly, you can't leave a major player like Samsung outside the courtroom, it just wouldn't be fair.

Re: Apple sues Samsung for 'copying' the iPhone and iPad
From a business strategy perspective, Apple is smart not to jump at the first sign of the so-called "infringement". Instead, they held out until their competitors went ahead with incorporating more similar features and then slap them with one big lawsuit worth tens of millions. Of course, as per the article, the usual outcome is "...another round of grudging handshakes and licensing going one way with money going the other way" with Apple being the biggest winner.
That's corporate blackmail at its finest. And legal too.
