If Samsung's lawyers were not kept on such a tight
leash by the judge, they could have tried to present
a pocket Etch-a-Sketch in court and ask Apple whether
its shape infringed on their design patent.
Sadly, I think this judge would just be furious with
them for bringing toys to work, and refuse to listen.

I don't think the case is about rounded corners, although that seems to be a
popular meme. Check out this document and see what you think:

Judge
Birss in his declaration notes the Etch-a-Sketch (Pg 10-11) and dismisses
it. However, his judgement (pg 39) clearly states:
The Samsung
tablets do not infringe Appleās registered design No.
000181607-0001.
and so the etch-a-sketch is not really
needed.
But, with the child like behaviour (that's not being rude about
children is it?) I see going on in the US courts (especially with the basis of
this trial), introducing this child's toy will probably be accepted with glee as
prior evidence of Apple copying someone else's design and that if Samsung copied
anyone it was etch-a-sketch and not Apple.
[As an aside, in the hands of Art
students, very good drawings of Captain Slow (James May) were done with it.] [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
