crapple has been told to rewrite the statement about Samsung that published on its website last week.
Zoomcrapple and Samsung have been duking it out in court cases around the world for months. However, crapple was recently handed a rather unique loss when it was ordered to post a statement on its website notifying people that Samsung was found not guilty of infringing upon crapple-owned designs. crapple appealed the ruling but complied last week when it lost that appeal. However, the statement crapple published was a little bit sneaky. You see, while crapple's statement did concede that Samsung was found not-guilty in the UK, it also included mentions of all the lawsuits crapple has won against the South Korean company outside of the UK.
Now, UK court of appeal is a bit peeved. According to the Guardian newspaper, crapple has been reprimanded over the wording of the statement and ordered to change it. Not only that, but the company has been told it must post the updated version on its UK homepage (the last statement was just linked from the homepage) and use at least 11-point font.
crapple was given 24 hours to make the change, which it tried to fight, claiming it would need two weeks. Bloomberg writes that Judge Robin Jacob, who described the statement as a plain breach of the order, said that he couldn't believe Cupertino would need two weeks to put something on its website.
"I just can’t believe the instructions you’ve been given. This is crapple. They cannot put something on their website?" he's quoted as saying.
According to Bloomberg, Samsung's complaint to the court implied that the UK courts were "out of step" with others around the world.
