'Apple invented rounded corners' is also a wilfully incorrect simplification of the issues.
It doesn't matter who invented what first, Samsung deliberately infringed Apple's design patents and were found to do so by the court. As I understand it, design patents are different to normal patents in that prior art is not a consideration.
Samsung could have gone in so many different directions with the design. Instead they came up with something that even their own lawyers had trouble distinguishing from an iPhone.
> If it was so radical and ground-breaking, how come LG are an also-ran Android OEM and not the most valuable company ever?
The LG Prada example only destroys the "Apple invented rounded corners" argument.
iPhone was groundbreaking. Rhe lawsuits afterwards were ridiculous IMO.
