You'll be hearing from my Fruity Lawyers

Dear Samsung, This is clearly a blatent copy of my client Apfel corp's original creation. ..

Your new phone has the same plastic body with buttons and a screen as my clients original creation .

In that the look and feel, shape, colour and number of corners does correspond with my clients original creation.

We estimate the damages caused by your breach of these Apfel Corps copyright at One Trillion United States Dollars per illegal copy.
