British judge: Samsung tablets ‘not as cool’ as iPad, so they don’t infringe

It may not have been the words Samsung wanted to hear, but they got it the outcome it wanted. A British judge ruled Monday that Samsung’s tablets do not infringe on the design of the iPad, the Guardian reported, because, “They are not as cool.”

The judge in the case, the report said, justified his assertion by pointing to the thickness of the tablets and the way they look and feel in the back. The Samsung tablets he said, “do not have the same understated and extreme simplicity which is possessed by the Apple design,”Bloomberg reported.
