Remember that one time when Samsung asked Apple to hand over the iPhone 5 and iPad 3 for legal inspection, just in case the companies’ future products crossed the line between similar and strikingly similar yet again? Well, Apple didn’t like that very much, and has called the request “copyist.”
It all started back in April, when Apple saw some bothersome similarities between Apple’s iPad 2 and iPhone 4 and certain products from Samsung’s Galaxy and Infuse lines of products. Apple sued, Samsung counter-sued, and now we’re basically in a vicious cycle of “which came first: the iPhone 4 or the Samsung Galaxy S II?”
