But this did not happen, as the present law Samsung was able to prove that the described features of the design are utilitarian devices and related functionality of the gadget. A repetition of their other products in such a case is not illegal. 

At its discretion, based on an assessment by the court of all the conditions, the court decides that the case is not exceptional, which would be allocated among the other .... In turn, Samsung was able to provide reasonable evidence in response to the accusation of copying the design and verify that its design does not infringe the said law.
