Samsung has copied many different aspects from Apple, not just through the Android OS. This was made even more clear to me as I recently setup a Samsung laptop for a friend, and found that many of the additional "apps" that Samsung includes make Windows 7 look and feel incredibly similar to how my Macbook pro running Lion looks and feels (system preferences, application dock, and a few others). Unsurprisingly, I had to uninstall many of them because they were causing excessive system hangs on Windows 7, but they are an attempt to replicate as much of what Apple does as they possibly can on a Windows machine. When you combine that with the construction similarities of some of Samsung's hardware line (laptops, smartphones, etc), it is just more reason for Apple to pursue litigation. Additionally Samsung has stolen many interface components in its smart tv line from both Apple and Microsoft. To me settlement just does not seem likely.
