The Verge reports that Google has officially responded to Friday’s ruling in the Apple vs. Samsung case that saw a jury award Apple over $1 billion in deciding that Samsung had infringed upon Apple’s patents and trade dress. In its statement, Google attempts to distance itself from the controversy somewhat, indicating that most of the issues addressed in the trial do not relate to Android itself. The issues instead deal with Samsung’s specific software implementations and its hardware design decisions. Google writes: The court of appeals will review both infringement and the validity of the patent claims
One year ago today, Steve Jobs stepped down from the CEO post he held for more than a decade, making Tim Cook the head of what is now the most valuable publicly-traded company in the world.
