That is what Samsung does not do. It is what HTC and Nokia have done: 'steal' the idea of a multitouch, thin, all screen smartphone, but add their own innovations and attempt to move the market forward. I doubt you even looked at the document, but you would clearly see Samsung made no attempt to add their own ideas in this case. They literally went 'this is how our product sucks, this is how the iPhone does it, this is how we go about copying the iPhone'. And that is why they have been left with a 1bn dollar bill, not for drawing inspiration from others work. But for plagiarism and theft.
Samsung is no better than those Chinese KIRF brands.

The fact is Apple are no better than Samsung and it's not just Xerox they took idea's from it is Microsoft too, who in return Microsoft took ideas from Apple. It has all been going on for years.
The functionally comes from the operating system and that is Android. At the end of the day it is Android that Apple is after. It just happens to be going at Samsung first. But the thing is, like I said:

The thing is once you start this thing were do you stop..... Mercedes Benz filing patent cases against every car maker in the world because they had the idea of the car first.
It all is a load of nonsense being able to patent of how I interact with a device is just stupid. As is patenting the look of an interface, it is like saying because I build a house with a door at the front and four windows by neighbour can't do the same.
It would serve Apple right if Samsung pulled all of it's hardware supplies from Apple and refused to let them to use their technology patents, it would sink most of their products in an instant.
