Apple's Legal Goliath Struck Down by Spanish Tablet Maker

[Guest]

apple stolen the idea of iPad from ATARI ST Pad, even took the name. The ATARI designed that tablet back in 1992. Bad bad Apple...

[citation][nom]DOSlover[/nom]Thank you judge for applying a little old fashioned commonsense. Where would we be if Daimler and Benz had done the some thing with the automobile that Apple is trying to do with the rest of its competitors. Clearly the idea of making money from sales and not legal action is not the Apple doctrine. May this legal ruling become a more common event and I hope the judge is rewarded or recognised for his creativity, inspiration and plain common sense. Viva la Judge![/citation]

You did no research. You need to go back and look at all the many, many law suits at the beginning of the auto and airplane industries. It looks just like the tablet and phone industries of today. All these law suits will be forgotten, just like they have been for other fledgling industries.

@Serves you right R(otten)-apple!!! At the end of the day you're nothing more than a thief and a bully. But when you get the spank in the ass you act like the victim.
Well i got news for you thats called the american way.

[citation][nom]watcha[/nom]That is not what he said. You have a habit of doing this. Different countries have different levels of bribery. To accuse one country of bribery is not accusing EVERY country of bribery.He may, for example, believe that this particular Spanish judge is corrupt. That belief doesn't necessarily mean that he also believes that every American judge is corrupt.People mean exactly what they say, stop creating new points which masquerade as being remotely similar to what the original poster said.[/citation]
His insinuation was that the NT won the case because the company and the judge were Spanish. I wonder if he even knows how the legal system works in spain to make this kind of accusation.

[citation][nom]getreal[/nom]It's largely due to the majority of the people on this site desperately seeking acceptance that they do not get in reality, so they just jump on whatever bandwagon is currently strong so they fit in. It's funny to see how many lame Apple jokes are made just to try to win favor...funny and sad. Right now, its Samsung and Android that people here cling to. But in this case, Vlad is using any number of fallacies (several fit) with his claim about bribery, so he has already defeated his own argument.[/citation]
I find it distasteful to bash an entire country legal system just because Apple lost a court case. Apparently the Spanish can't reach an impartial verdict when a foreign and a national companies are involved.

I mentioned Samsung because they and Apple are locked in several legal battles around the globe. I don't even own a Samsung: My main phone is an iPhone 4, but I do also have an Android phone. But just because I like a product doesn't mean I will go blind to the bullying actions of the company that makes it.

Maybe now Apple will stop the streak of lawsuits and allow other tablets to take a breather

Yes, that was his insinuation. Not anything to do with American judges.

If you had asked him on what basis he believed the Spanish judge was a factor, I wouldn't have called you up on it.

Because you didn't ask that, but instead suggested he had claimed all American judges were also biased / corrupt - I took issue with that.

I didn't suggested that American judges are biased or corrupt, I was asking him if his view would change if Apple won a case in the USA against a foreign company. Even though I've been to America I don't have a minimum clue how well their judicial system works, so I wouldn't presume anything.
