Back in April, when he was just a bunch of harsh words and vicious threats beef between Samsung and Apple was very entertaining. But only funny until someone gets hurt and this time it is Europe that will feel the pain. In its infinite tiff with Samsung, the South Korean-based Apple won an interim order block sales of 10.1 Galaxy tab within the whole European Union, after deduction of the Netherlands.
Strange is the fact that Samsung seems to have no idea all this was going down until it is too late. In particular, the order was given "without any hearings or evidence from Samsung," said spokesman Kim Titus Samsung, who confirmed to Bloomberg. Apparently, it's pretty normal in Germany, the plaintiffs must only prove that the violation occurred to obtain orders rolling, provisional or permanent basis without the need to inform the other party. However, the Court grants preliminary injunction only often (like this) when it considered that subsequent permanent ban will be provided as well. If this is not and Apple loses, the Cupertino-based company will certainly have to Samsung.
According to German news service DPA this prohibition relates entirely to design and intellectual property rights, and not patents related to software or hardware. Apple made clear long before anything went down in Europe that he was not happy with the appearance of GalTab 10.1 and even went as far as to say that the Samsung copied Apple style packaging, too. The word "humbly" comes to mind. But there's still a little Sliver of hope for our European friends, who was just dying to play around with Samsung in 10-inch slate. Galaxy tabs in stock will continue to sell until the current inventory is gone. So if you want, just leave now. Not even to keep reading.
I mean it. .. Go!
In any case, Samsung has responded to the ban, promising "to act quickly to protect our intellectual property rights through ongoing trials in Germany and will continue to defend these rights throughout the world. We will take all necessary measures to ensure the Samsung innovative mobile communication devices are available for customers in Europe and in the world. "
In the meantime Apple seems to have moved to yet another competitor, SlashGear. Motorola and Apple closely for the past few months, but only after digging into the Galaxy tab News she discovered that Apple has already filed a complaint with the European design cell powered Xoom. Since Samsung does not know this prohibition has survived, it is very likely that Motorola just becomes aware of this now, as it is distributed across the Internet. Speculation suggests that Apple is going straight for a permanent ban from Motorola, Xoom has been around long enough for him.
Started by Steve jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne, Apple has expanded from computers to consumer electronics over the past 30 years, officially change their name from Apple Computer.
