Apple's CEO, Tim Cook has sent a quick memo to his employees sharing his thoughts about the flawless victory against Samsung in the long standing patent case, proving that Apple as a true innovator.
Apple today won in the tech's biggest patent case against Samsung in the United States, and the company would now be getting a whopping $1.049 billion from Samsung. On hearing this victory, Apple's CEO, Tim Cook wrote a memo the his employees to let them clearly know that stealing isn't right. Which obviously stands true.
Here's the memo which he sent to his employees:
Today was an important day for Apple and for innovators everywhere.
Many of you have been closely following the trial against Samsung in San Jose for the past few weeks. We chose legal action very reluctantly and only after repeatedly asking Samsung to stop copying our work. For us this lawsuit has always been about something much more important than patents or money. It’s about values. We value originality and innovation and pour our lives into making the best products on earth. And we do this to delight our customers, not for competitors to flagrantly copy.
We owe a debt of gratitude to the jury who invested their time in listening to our story. We were thrilled to finally have the opportunity to tell it. The mountain of evidence presented during the trial showed that Samsung’s copying went far deeper than we knew.
The jury has now spoken. We applaud them for finding Samsung’s behavior willful and for sending a loud and clear message that stealing isn’t right.
I am very proud of the work that each of you do.
Today, values have won and I hope the whole world listens.
Tim
