It is the system and how far they can push it.

I am cynical but I am not sure this case justifies it as far as the legal system
goes.

Some sort of limited protection for designs to prevent the public being mislead
as to the origin of products makes sense and the judge in this case seems to
have been very sensible and well informed. I read the appeal judgement and it
seemed well reasoned and clearly expressed.

The remedy specified by the court appeared proportionate and sensible in
directly addressing the harm done to Samsung.

At least this far on this case the English Legal system seems to be doing quite
well. It will be interesting to see what happens now, will Samsung complain that
Apple have not complied? If they do how will the court react? If it gets that
far and the court decides Apples have not complied then to me the court must
order some significant penalty beyond simply putting up a notice that really
does comply otherwise any large coproporation may as well ignore court judgments
becasue there is no cost associated with not doing so.
