Apple has been ordered by a judge to publish a notice on its UK website and in newspapers and magazines to inform readers that Samsung did not copy designs for the iPad, reports Bloomberg.

On July 9 a court ruled that Samsung's Galaxy tablets don't infringe of Apple's registered designs.

The notice should appear on Apple's UK homepage for six months and will also be published – at Apple's expense – in the Financial Times, the Daily Mail, Guardian Mobile magazine, and T3, according to a draft copy of the court order provided.

It's good to see companies getting punished for filing law suits just because they don't like having competitors. The iPad design is so minimalist on the outside that it's kinda hard not to come up with that design.

Hopefully it will act as a deterrent to other companies wasting their time suing people just because they've got a team of lawyers sitting around doing nothing.
