If you actually study the case, Apple forced disclosure of a 100+ page Samsung internal development document where they systematically compared each element of the Apple and Samsung UIs and made recommendations of how to change Samsung's UI. And in most cases the answer was to change it to do what Apple did.
They
did absolutely copy Apple's UI designs and concepts.
Whether that should have been something they could be sued for is a different issue.
