Samsung logoIf you’ve been following the tech news, chances are you might have come across the patent war that Apple and Samsung are involved in which has pretty much been each company alleging that the other has infringed upon their patents. As far as Apple’s complaints are concerned, the initial dispute was that some of Samsung’s products were too similar to Apple’s iPhone and iPad products, a sentiment at which Samsung’s vice president of design, Lee Minhyouk, seems to take particular offense at.

“I’ve made thousands of sketches and hundreds of prototype products [for the Galaxy range]. Does that mean I was putting on a mock show for so long, pretending to be designing? […] As a designer, there’s an issue of dignity. [The Galaxy] is original from the beginning, and I’m the one who made it. It’s a totally different product with a different design language and different technology infused.”
