After Apple introduced evidence that clearly shows how Samsung purposely copied its iPhone, Samsung released the following statement:

“Samsung benchmarks many peer companies,” she said. “In fact, these are typical competitive analyses routinely undertaken by many companies in many industries – including Apple. Samsung stands by its culture of continuous improvement and innovation. We are very proud of the product innovations driven by our more than 50,000 designers and engineers around the world who have made Samsung’s products the products of choice.”

It’s doesn’t say, but I’m guessing the Samsung rep didn’t say that with a straight face.
