More bad news for Apple? ... It seems they didn't really want to admit defeat in the UK. So when the judge ask them to post an apology notice on their website, Apple misled consumers about the lawsuit. WRONG thing to do! Now the judges have ordered Apple to pay a majority of Samsung's legal fees as well ... Oooooooo, gutted!!

"The UK court made this call after Apple posted an inaccurate notice on its UK website. After posting a snarky notice on its UK website, Apple was ordered to pay a majority of Samsung's legal fees.

Last month, a UK court ruling ordered Apple to  post a notice to Samsung on its website, saying that the South Korean electronics maker didn't steal the designs of the iPad after all. Apple obeyed the order, but with a snarky tone that made sure to highlight a few facts in Apple's favor.

The UK court found that this notice was "false and misleading," and ordered Apple to take it down at once. Apple was  told to rewrite the apology to Samsung, and it posted a notice on its website saying that its former "apology" was inaccurate. The new apology even appeared in UK newspapers. 

However, a rewrite was not enough. The Court of Appeal of England and Wales has further ordered Apple to pay the legal fees of Samsung on an indemnity basis. The exact amount that Apple must pay is unclear, but reports are saying Apple will pay a majority of the fees. "
