Dutch court denies Apple's request for Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 injunction

I wonder how much Apple has spent pursuing sales bans against Sammy's products? Other than in Germany, I don't see the expenditure bringing much benefit to Apple. And if someone in Germany really wants a Sammy tablet, I doubt they aren't getting one.

This is just arrogance taken to a higher level courtesy of Apple's pile of cash.

the amusing irony of this is that the more injunctions that are lost, the more likely it is that precedence will be set against their claims making it that much more difficult to bring suit in the future

Apple can only play the same card over and over again until somebody grows some balls and put a end to this BS

Apple's squarish tab looks suspiciously similar to squarish TVs and monitors and movie screens people have been using. Will someone apply for an injunction against all squarish Apple products?

You'd think that with all these losses that Apple would just quit and accept Android as a worthy opponent to iOS.

So because of the founders vendetta against Android, instead of making money through deals and such you waste non refundable money on frivolous lawsuits. So on top of not making cash, you are also spending cash that could have been used for something like making the products cost a little less or more R&D.

This is the type of crap that business corps can't stand, emotions. They ruin a perfectly good strategy with illogical, ridiculous thought processes and can cost you billions if you are a publicly traded company. Matters not how much money you have in reserves, investors like one thing, making money and when you make moves that start losing money they get concerned. How long do you think Apple can continue this sort of nonsense before their investors have had enough? In this ecosystem of technology it's pretty tough to keep a large company at bay with product bans, they have the resources to fix the offending piece and then get it out to market quickly then what?
