No, Apple has an American patent that says the idea of the combination of the shape of a frozen food tray when used with a touch sensitive screen is a new and original invention.
It doesn't matter whether what they did was new and original or not, it doesn't matter whether a court in Netherlands thinks that Samsung did or didn't copy Apple, it doesn't matter how ridiculous anyone other than the CEO of Apple thinks this is, it only matters that Apple has been given a patent for this and whether the laws of a country can be used to temporarily or permanently ban the sale of anything that looks like a frozen food tray and has a touch sensitive screen. Apple does have a patent and they are using the laws of countries to ban competing technology. Case closed.
The only way around this is for Samsung to find a better form of man-machine interface, e.g. uses voice commands or proximity sensors or infra red motion sensors or small cameras to create a 3-D image of a person's hand that avoid the need to actually touch the screen to be effective.
