Link was posted about 2 dozen times already in the thread. This is the July 18th ruling, with Apple's quote, etc.. :

Thanks. I only skimmed this thread. This fills in a lot of details.
/sigh
Apple should just state the outcome of the case and that they disagree with it - that is clearly permitted by the ruling if I'm not mistaken - and be done with it.
The newspaper ads might be a tad much though, rich as Apple may be they still have to pay signicfiant amount of money for it.
In general, I can't say I agree with points 49-54. It's perfectly legal for Apple to publicly statement that they believe Samsung infringes on their right, whether it affects Samsung's reputation completely depends on how the public takes the statement - out of Apple's control. Samsung should be responsible for defending their own reputation in public. Having Apple pay for the dissemination of the verdict is obscure - it could also be interpreted by the public as wrongdoing on Apple's part; I'm surprised Apple's lawyers didn't bring this up.
Personally I find the judgement controversial.
To be honest, when you think about it, the whole thing is much ado about nothing - the whole thing is about dissemination of a verdict. Guess we have the tech press to thank for the sensationalizing of it again.
