Summary
| Description | US design patents only cover what is shown as solid lines. Dotted lines don't count. The left image is from Apple's US design patent D593087. The right image is of a Samsung Galaxy S 4G. The Samsung image is from the court records in Apple v Samsung. The Samsung phone infringed the Apple patent even though the backs were different because the Apple patent showed the back as a dotted line and was not claimed. | ||
