At last. If we clear things up, we get that:

1) Samsung, in effect, compared its product with Apple's.

2) People confuse both products, the iPhone and the Samsung Galaxy.

3) Apple's sales didn't decrease as a consequence of that confusion.

4) A lot of people that work or worked for Apple swear that they worked had on the design of the iPhone and the iPad and that they feel horribly violated by Samsung's behaviour. Bad, bad Samsung.

and lastly,

5) Samsung has not spoken yet.

With respect to all those points:

1) is not a crime. Companies compare products all the time, and the documents don't say "we must copy the iPhone", but "we should get similar results".

2) is not a crime. Products are properly branded both in the box and in the front face of the product itself; if someone's to blame, it is dumb customers or greedy salesmen. Anyways, you can't blame Samsung, the same way you can't blame rifle makers if a salesman decides to sell a rifle to a child.

3) Apple cannot claim direct relation between the sale of a Samsung product and the loss of alleged profits since its profits kept increasing. Of course you can extrapolate data; that's why Apple should get a market engineer and see if there are potential loses.

4) Of course that Apple employees will support Apple ! What were you expecting?, and finally:

5) Samsung will come out with all the evidence about other companies making iPhone clones in China (and every other android manufacturer out there).

My opinion: after a lot of pushing and pulling, it will be all settled by some US$ 250 million for the bounce effect and that will be all. Apple will win and will keep the "innovator" title, while Samsung will already have a foot in the US market. Everybody wins, the lawyers get a fat check, the consumers will spend a couple more dollars on their next phone, and every tech news site will go back to fantasize about the iPhone 7 with IOS 7, and the Galaxy Tab 25.3 with Kiwi Jam Android 5.0.
