La doar cateva ore dupa publicarea verdictului in procesul dintre Apple si Samsung, Tim Cook a trimis o scrisoare interna catre toti angajatii in care vorbeste despre victoria de astazi. Fiind o copie ceva mai elaborata a comunicatului de presa oficial al Apple, scrisoarea lui Cook vorbeste despre faptul ca Appl nu a cautat sa obtina bani din proces, ci sa demonstreze ca valorile proprietatii intelectuale sunt importante si ca nimeni nu trebuie sa copieze munca altora. Apple multumeste juriului si spune ca ea dezvolta tehnologii pentru consumatori si nu pentru masinile de copiat ale altora.
Continutul scrisorii este cat se poate de normal si destul de retinut desi Apple a obtinut o victorie foarte importanta.
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
