Today the first shots were fired in the high-profile U.S. patent war between Apple and Samsung, beginning with Apple's opening statements. And no punch was pulled — Apple's lawyer made a few hard-hitting claims in the courtroom, providing documents that show Samsung thought the iPhone was "easy to copy." Harold McElhinny (Apple's lawyer) also showed documents prepared by a Samsung executive that claim that the company was in a "crisis of design" because of the iPhone. The presentation also included images of Samsung's design evolution between pre-iPhone time and now. But despite the evidence, McElhinny's most crushing blow may have come in the form of a simple and well-known tech adage: "As we all know, it is easier to copy than to innovate. Apple had already taken the risks."Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/jvwhJyI_7Ds/
