Shouldn't this be in general off-topic, as the content doesn't pertain to TV/internet/etc. in Switzerland?

I guess - but the ruling isn't any more intelligent than the ones against Samsung in Germany

Man, the Samsun tablet looks like an exact copy of the Ipad. I think its a damn shame that until Apple came out with the Ipad no one else dared dream about producing something so innovative. I guess Samsung is playing their cards right with the Chinese government.

Looks to me like the design is about 40 years old

This has pretty much nothing to do with Samsung. The 'iPad" trade mark owner in China is Proview, a PC monitor maker.
