Samsung Uses Decades-Old Movie as Evidence Against Apple, Microsoft Moves to Ban Motorola Imports -Phandroid

Although in embarrassing news for Phandroid, the author of that article appears not to have heard of the movie...
Interesting move but it looks like a static display, it wasn't interacted with but I don't know if that is a core part of the alleged infringement or just the appearance.

Samsung should have submitted Star Trek clips with the Star Trek PADD which was designed up to 20 years before the iPAD. Does Paramount have an infringment case here?
