Apple asks for Samsung's whole Galaxy line to be recalled within 14 days of a Dutch court injunction
Share:
Moreover, an eventual injunction is also to be valid for Samsung Logistics and Samsung Overseas in the Netherlands - divisions which are crucial for the company, since it has a distribution center in the country. Apple demands that all importing, trading, distribution and sales of the Galaxy line to halt after an injunction similar to the one it obtained in a German court, which, however, resulted in validity only for Germany, whereas if Cupertino succeeds in the Netherlands, the ban might be enforced across Europe for real this time.
Thus an eventual negative for Samsung ruling during the hearing scheduled for September 15, might result in a total pan-European ban for its smartphones and tablets after October 13, when it will be enforced. Not a great start of the holiday shopping season in Europe, although it seems unlikely to happen, given Apple's offense and Samsung's defense.

I mean, if they keep banning it on other countries and they win, then they might be thinking on doing the same in America and use other countries decisions as base to get US courts to rule in they're favor too.... so sad :( ...... Already forgetting about SII... moving to Nexus Prime...

well i would blame the carriers... cause I went to Canada a few weeks ago and voila a sgII in the Bell store... if canada can do it idk why the us can't get it...
I must say apple is being brutal... and for below-- uh why wudnt they hate everything competing against them? microsoft and google have clearly shown similar views.. also if you find a single phone selling better than the iPhone has then please do tell..

I agree with you about the carriers bc here in Puerto Rico there's one carrier, Claro (it used to be Verizon) and they have had the SII for a month now! I'm on Sprint :(

Bunch of busters over at Apple.
I now compare Apple to the kid in school that had rich parents, but paid everyone to do his homework, because he just couldn't do it on his own.

Apple goes into the court and says to the judge, "we want you to ban all of Samsung's products because we've Photoshoped a few of them too look exactly like our products and therefore infringe on our non-existent IP."
Judge replied to apple, "well, you have this nice sketches and I see you've done such a wonderful job with Photoshop to make Samsung's products look like yours so it must be the case that they have infringed on your IP."
Rest of the word say, WTF?!?!?!

All the more reason to believe that indeed did lie about the galaxy tab and that apple should be paying samsung huge money for damages.

Indeed deluxe Apple has done a low blow in the phone community jobs and his lawyers need to pull there heads out of there a**es and actually make a better product or show that there product is better by having the competition, this will only make ppl not want a Apple product but to buy a unlocked Samsung and activate it with there phone company

It is time for Samsung to stop supplying any components to Apple now until all Laws suits are drop forever.
12. Deluxe (unregistered) posted on 19 Aug 2011, 10:17 2 0
If they could have and afforded to do so i think samsung should have stopped component supply to apple when they first started suing.

They have stopped supply for the future iPhone but current phones are probably under a contract that can't be nullified just like that.
