However, in a case tried in Germany regarding the same patent, the court found that Samsung engaged in unfair competition by copying the iPad design. A U.S. jury also found Samsung guilty of infringing on Apple's design and utility patents, awarding over one billion U.S. dollars in damages to Apple Inc. So while the U.K. court did not find Samsung guilty of infringement, other courts have recognized that in the course of creating its Galaxy tablet, Samsung willfully copied Apple's far more popular iPad.
The following notice shall be posted and displayed upon the Defendant's Websites [...]
"On 9th July 2012 the High Court of Justice of England and Wales ruled that Samsung Electronics (UK) Limited's Galaxy Tablet computers, namely the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Tab 8.9 and Tab 7.7 do not infringe Apple's registered design 000181607-0001. A copy of the full judgment of the High Court is available via the following link [insert hyperlink]."

A: When it's from an arrogant multi-billion dollar company like Apple, and littered with thinly veiled snipes at their rival.
Damn right the judge should summon Apple straight back to court to be held in contempt of court! Corporate scumbags!
Pretty much what I was going to say.
One of my pet hates has always been arrogance, and all the recent PR statements from Apple have been riddled with it. I don't particurally care who was at fault in the Samsung-Apple cases I just wish they would both give it a rest and go back to actually designing products or something.

Apple statements are full of arrogance, patronising customers of competitors and very very childish.
I dont know why people would love such a childish company.

Too many people have more money than sense.

now Samsung are cancelling the contract to supply the parts to their litigation obsessed rival maker of posh toys!

Apple's European Community Design 000181607-0001 is from 2004.

They weren't required to say sorry.

Jobs was obviously a fan.
Let's see what Apple's next move is. More contempt of court perhaps?
