Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 European sales paused by German court, Samsung calls foul
Share:
A similar thing happened in Australia recently, where the first reports actually pegged Samsung as voluntarily stopping the sales and marketing of the Galaxy Tab 10.1, until the courts issue a statement on Apple's claims.
Samsung's Director of PR Kim Titus reacted immediately:
“Samsung is disappointed with the court’s decision and we intend to act immediately to defend our intellectual property rights through the ongoing legal proceedings in Germany and will continue to actively defend these rights throughout the world.
The request for injunction was filed with no notice to Samsung, and the order was issued without any hearing or presentation of evidence from Samsung.
We will take all necessary measures to ensure Samsung’s innovative mobile communications devices are available to customers in Europe and around the world.
This decision by the court in Germany in no way influences other legal proceedings filed with the courts in Europe and elsewhere.”, he comments.
The case is being reviewed in the Regional Court of Dusseldorf, a place where everyone uses iPhones. We kid, but due to its decisions being valid across the European Union, the ban only spares the Netherlands for some reason - in every other EU country the Samsung distributors will have to place a hold on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 sales campaigns.

STUPID APPLE !!!
Aaarghh. I hate when apple does this kind of foul play. The galaxy tab is not a copy of the iPad. This is just so stupid.
Why are they banning it from the EU, thats just insane when Samsung has not even had a chance to show their evidence ???!!!
Samsung will strike back at apple, Samsung is a bigger company and has the cash do to so.
Apple has choosen the wrong company to fight !

All this just becuase the tab 10.1 is thinner than the iPad2? Wow, I didn't know Steve Jobs suffered from gadget envy!

"nice job apple"? lol you are such an iDiot. Not only does this prove that Apple is afraid of the competition and are unwilling to try to compete for your dollar, this sets PRECEDENCE for other companies to try to do the same to their competition. Once you open the door it will never shut.

Yes, nice job Apple, ignoring the principles of the free market.
If Apple were to play their 1984 commercial again, everyone would laugh in their face.

Too bad you are to stupid to know that Apple should not hold the copyright for how a tablet should look like.

Its funny to hear the effeminate Apple fanboys talking how much they love apple. Android users like computes. Apple users are *** for Steve Jobs and "being cool" with Apple. That's the difference when we forget about the ineptitude of an Apple device/user. Such a moron gallitoking.

I call it how I see it, and I'm sure I've called this one correctly. Apple doesn't anger me. The hardware itself isn't even bad. Its the followers like you that seem to think a one company market is good, but lack any sort of educated reason, that make me laugh actually. How can you spend so much on a product that does so little? Can you not see that Apple added zero functionality with the iPad that wasn't already in the iPhone? It's not even a computer, WHICH I must add is what Android, Samsung and even Microsoft are valiantly trying to create. Before I waste even another moment of my life speaking to you, knowing you will mindlessly ignore what I say, I'm out with this: Enjoy it while it lasts, its over soon. Why don't you spend some time looking at numbers that matter (e.g., 2011 OS sales figures). Hahahahahahaha.

fandroids have ben saying that it would be over soon. and Apple keeps getting stronger.. and that what. annoys me that fandroids are too busy restarting their phones and take their anger on Apple.. just because Apple did not work for you doesnt mean it wont work for millions of happly Apple users...Samsung and even Google are not creating.. they just want to beat Apple soo bad that they copy rush releases (ICS) just to beat Apple to the punch not realizing that they dont delivered.. Zoom was rushed and half baked.. the T-Bolt was rush and under cooked... and please do your self a favor and dont answer as you dont want to waste time with me... but please sit down get lots of unperishable items and wait for the Apple's doom... while i grow a beard,,,,
