The first iPhone was launched January 9, 2007, a full year after the LG Prada

Nope. From the very same Wikipedia you linked (emphasis mine): "[The LG Prada] was first announced on December 12, 2006. An official press release showing an image of the device appeared on January 18, 2007. Sales started in May 2007." Sales of iPhone began in June, 2007.

Looks like you've got Samsung's lawyers beat, then: Even Samsung’s Lawyers Can’t Tell the Difference Between Its Tablet and an iPad

Did you just google "Samsung sue Apple" and posted the first link that you found without reading the article? Wow.

I read the article, and, unlike you, I comprehended it as well. If you'll notice, the sentence that you quoted and bolded says that Apple filed a complaint in U.S. federal court. The suit that so badly backfired on Samsung was filed by them, against Apple, in Germany.

Um, your link itself explains that Apple sued Samsung first...

Um, my link itself explains that Apple sued Samsung first in the United States, but that Samsung sued Apple first in Japan and Germany. This article is about the lawsuit that Samsung brought against Apple in Germany.

Samsung filed this suit against Apple, not the other way around. How weak must their case be that after suing Apple, the judge rules that Samsung's own products be pulled from the shelves?
