As expected, Samsung decided to compete with Apple in a preliminary injunction to prohibit the sale of 10.1 tab galaxies through the European Union (with the exception of the Netherlands). 25 August crash continues, as Samsung will appeal to the Court in Düsseldorf, Germany to appeal the Court decision, reports the Wall Street Journal.
So far, it has been long and bloody fight both sides lose a little ground. Samsung in the case of a European ban on today is the greatest failure. But GalTab also was delayed in Australia, with decisions to here in the United States Is a pretty big hunk of the global market for losing, and if these preliminary import bans are permanent ones, it could change the tablet game considerably.
GalTab is widely regarded as the strongest competitor to the iPad, and Apple tablet market wide management course at Slate, the new Samsung. But what is worse is that Apple's reputation is also at stake. While there are countless difficulties for consideration to go into these patent fights, most of the general public really do not have access to the nitty gritty details of the trial (details of trade dress violations in and out of this extremely complex legal process through several court systems, etc.).
I sincerely believe that Apple has the full right to protect its trade dress, and I also believe that some of the new Samsung product (GalTab 10.1 and Galaxy S II Smartphone, included) very closely resemble that Apple spent so much time creating. The appearance of Apple products is just as important as what they do, and Apple knows this.

Android, iOS, and Windows 7 phone shared quite a few different functions, but patents related to the software so general and broad, that hardly seems fair. Every time Apple pushes hard against Android, whether it be with Smartphone Samsung or HTC, Apple eventually right and desperate to premptively Squash competition.
In any case, we are the ones with the most to lose. Apple and Samsung both will survive this fight, although with a few bumps and bruises. But end users are getting screwed out of fun new toys, and that's what hurts the most.
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.
