U.K. court to Apple: Nix those 'untrue' anti-Samsung claims

Apple has been ordered by the U.K. Court of Appeal in London to remove an "untrue" and "incorrect" statement about Samsung from its U.K. Web site, in which the iPad maker continued to insist that Samsung did indeed copy Apple's products.

The statement, which can be found on Apple's U.K. Web site at the bottom of the page, riled U.K. appeal judges sufficiently to force Apple to remove the statement within 24 hours, reports Bloomberg.

This new ruling comes less than a month after a lower court ordered Apple to add the statement which stated Samsung did not copy the design of the iPad and therefore did not infringe a key Apple patent. Apple did so, but embellished the text with additional detail that was not sanctioned by the court.
