- Previous message: [NTLK] Apple Wins Permanent Ban On Sales Of Samsung Galaxy Tab In Germany Last month, a district court in Düsseldorf, Germany had granted Apple a preliminary injunction against Samsung's Android-based Galaxy Tab 10.1, barring distribution of the product in the entire European Union except for the Netherlands. But the court wasn't sure if it had jurisdiction outside Germany so decided to enforce it only in Germany. Wall Street Journal has just reported that the court has upheld its ban and has ruled earlier today that Samsung cannot sell Galaxy Tab in Germany as it looks too much like Apple's iPad 2. Wall Street Journal reports: Friday's decision confirmed that the ban on Samsung Electronics Co. distributing the product is limited to Germany, but Samsung's German unit is still barred from selling the device in the whole of the European Union. Samsung had unveiled two new Honeycomb tablets at the CTIA 2011: the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 to compete with Apple’s iPad 2. Samsung had calling them the "world’s thinnest tablets" at just 8.6 millimeters, slightly thinner than iPad 2 at 8.8 millimeters. In the lawsuit, Apple claimed that Samsung has not only blatantly copied the hardware shape but also the user interface and packaging from the iPhone and iPad. As expected, Samsung said it will appeal the ruling: "We are disappointed with this ruling and believe it severely limits consumer choice in Germany," Samsung said in an e-mailed statement. "Samsung will actively and immediately appeal this ruling to protect our intellectual property rights." Samsung has adopted an interesting strategy to defend itself against an iPad design patent in the US. Samsung cites Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey' movie as prior art against iPad design patent. It will be interesting to see how the ban will affect Apple’s relationship with Samsung who is one of the main suppliers of A4 and A5 system-on-a-chip, LCD Displays, flash memory that is used in the iPhone, iPad and iPod product lines. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below. [via WSJ]
