SAN JOSE, Calif. -- In an effort to rebut allegations that it copied the design of Apple's iOS home screen, icons, and other visual features, Samsung brought out one of the people in charge of designing the software in its phones.
Jeeyuen Wang, Samsung's senior designer, testified this afternoon with the help of an interpreter, and flat out told the court that the company did not copy Apple's designs.
Samsung brought out Wang to counter copycat claims made by Apple earlier in the trial that put the Samsung's iconography and features side by side. That offense also included outing multiple internal Samsung documents where the company had made suggestions on how to make some of the features in its devices look and function more like Apple's.
With that said, Wang explained that she did, in fact, look at what other companies did, as well as signage.
"I also look at the icons that come up on Web sites or Webs, and airport signing systems, so I'd pay attention to all these things," Wang said.
Through translation, Wang said that hundreds of people had come together to work on the designs of the phones, in different cities, and losing sleep in the process. On average, Wang said that she got about two to three hours of sleep a night, which ultimately affected her physical health, and left her unable to feed her newborn child.
