I don't doubt that Samsung copied elements of Apple's design and marketing, and some are clearly obvious. But, again, the biggest issue has been the broadness of interpretation of Apple's "innovations" and the length that they're pursuing it to (which is the entire basis of Posner's judgement and follow up statement).
