Innovation vs Copying

Drew Olanoff on Apple's ban of the Galaxy Nexus:

If the Nexus did catch on with some people, it would most definitely cause some disruption in Apple’s plans, which is what competition is all about. Instead, sending this all to a court for litigation limits everyone else’s opportunity to truly innovate.

And later:

If Apple wants to protect its IP, that’s fine, and that’s America. If Apple wants to be the best, it should just focus on making the best, and let the consumers decide.

The problem is that other OEMs (Samsung is especially shamless in this regard) are just stealing Apple's design ideas and UI ideas, and even names. Innovation is not the problem, copying is.
