UK judge forces Apple to state on its site that Samsung didn't copy the iPad

[![][1] ][2]

Apple is being forced by a British judge to tacitly state that [Samsung][3] didn't copy its iPad design. According to _Bloomberg_, Judge Colin Birss said that [Apple][4] has to post a notice both on its website and several British newspapers and magazines, to help correct the "damaging impression the South Korea-based company was copying Apple's product." The online part will reportedly stay there for six months. Apple lost its case against Samsung in the UK earlier this month, with the same judge awkwardly branding the 10-inch Android tablet "[not as cool][5]" as the iPad.
