That is what I thought initially. Ridiculous!
Then I saw Samsung galaxy pad and iPad side to side in shop. It took me a little while to realize that those two were two different devices. Even the aspect ratio difference was not obvious because one of them was displayed in portrait position and the other one in landscape position. Only when I started to play with them I realized that one of then has Android, while the other one iOS.
Besides, the judge in Germany has to adhere to the letter of the law, even if the circumstances make the law seem a bit unfair. The judge wasn't deciding whether that "design patent" or whatever it is protected under was granted rightfully or not.
