The world's two leading smartphone makers are fighting over patents, both for smartphones and for tablets like Apple's iPad, in courts around the world.

The VERDICT....

Samsung's Galaxy tablet did not infringe Apple's designs, in part because its products were "not as cool". This decision should stop any further legal disputes between the two companies over the design of tablets in the region.

Samsung has found the situation kind of silly saying  "We continue to believe that Apple was not the first to design a tablet with a rectangular shape and rounded corners".

Even craizer...

Apple has been instructed to run advertisements saying Samsung did not copy its registered tablet designs, both on its website and in selected newspapers.

This rivalry is just getting started!
