Apple wins stay on posting 'Samsung did not copy iPad' UK notice
A London court granted Apple's request to postpone any postings until the company has the opportunity to appeal the previous ruling in October, reports All Things D.
In a ruling last week, U.K. Judge Colin Birss ordered Apple to post a statement on its website and "several newspapers and magazines to correct the damaging impression" that Samsung copied the iPad.
According to the stipulations provided by Judge Birss, Apple would have been required to provide a link to the judge's order on the front page of its EU websites for one year and publish similar notices in the Financial Times, the Daily Mail, the Guardian, Mobile Magazine and T3 âin a font size no small than Arial 14 on a page earlier than page 6.â
An Apple attorney argued that the notices would amount to Apple-sponsored advertisement of a competitor's device as the company needs to purchase ad space in the above publications.
Earlier in July, Judge Birss noted that Samsung's tablet was not "cool" enough to be mistaken for an iPad but also said Apple's patent infringement allegations could potentially tarnish Samsung's image.

i'm sorry but wasn't jony ive just knighted? the judge should just ask him if he thinks samsung copied his designs.
Apple will not only win a stay, but you'll never see this ruling stick.
All anyone needs to know about the "damaging impression" about Samsung:
That ruling was one of the stupidest I've ever heard of.
We'll see where it goes, but sometimes when 'a child' (or in this case, a company) behaves badly (causing undue harm to others) their misdeeds should be made public via a written apology. ..and as for 'certain people' trying to rewrite history, here's the truth: http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg32/scaled.php?server=32&filename=screenshot20111201at114.png&res=landing

That's a great idea.
