Here's the AD they ran on the papers. Dry as the desert, but at least it's "court-approved".

Since there is no logo attached, there is nothing in this advert that tells the reader that the message is from Apple. They've complied with the letter of the ruling again, but still haven't quite complied with the spirit of it. However, they've garnered so much negative publicity about this across the press, that it's probably now done the job that the court wanted, and got the message out that the Tab doesn't infringe.

It's not called 'bizzare'. It's called oversmart. Without doubt lawyers wanted to cover-up the ruling by sugarcoating it. That failed miserably.

It's certainly true that if you set your browser zoom to 100% and go to the US site you will see the page footer. This was also true earlier of the UK site. Now if you go to the UK site the footer is not seen until you scroll down. See http://www.forbes.com/sites/timworst...a-page-a-page/. Quote:

They also ran crying to Mexican courts claiming that iFone's 2003 trademark is confusing with Apple's 2007 iPhone trademark. If Apple want compensation for confusion caused by others, why should they expect to cause confusion with impunity? |

They were literally one of the worst ads. Josh Rabinowitz is comedian by profession. He, for sure, made me laugh at the ads. Last edited by Nexutix; 11-06-2012 at 08:19 AM. |
