Samsung Lawyer Fails To Differentiate iPad and Galaxy Tab In Court

Posted by Soulskill on Friday October 14, 2011 @09:40AM from the shouldn't-you-know-these-things dept.

Several readers sent in a story that's sure to be embarrassing for Samsung. The company has been involved in a drawn-out patent dispute with Apple over similarities between the Galaxy Tab and the iPad. Today, during a court session, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh held up both objects and asked one of Samsung's attorneys whether she could identify which was which. The attorney replied, "Not at this distance, your honor." The distance was roughly 10 feet. The judge then quizzed the rest of Samsung's lawyers. After a brief hesitation, one of them was able to correctly identify the Galaxy Tab.

Look at this URL and tell me you don't see a radical shift in design thinking after the iPad. Can you not tell the difference at all?

Find any two white refrigerators of the same size. Remove their logos. Tell them apart at 10 feet away.
Are you one of the lawyers for Apple by chance?
