The claims are ridiculous... if you take a look at what Apple is claiming, they want to be the only one who can sell tablet like computers with rounded corners and a black bezel. They also claimed in their trade dress suit that a grid of icons is their trade dress when there is substantial prior art. All of the suits are related to trade dress and the products looking too similar when most of these elements have existed in OS and UI design for ages.
All TVs are made the same way, usually the only thing different is the brand on the front. It's like trying to sue someone to get them to remove the steering wheel for a car because it's round. The fact they Apple also doctored submitted evidence to the courts is also quite damning. On the other hand, now Apple is getting starting to get sued on a substantial number of wireless patents, lets see how this pans out.
