Galaxy Tab 10.1 injunction suspended in EU countries except Germany

by Kelly Hodgkins Aug 16th 2011 at 11:30AM

The German district court that granted Apple an injunction against Samsung and halted the sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the EU has temporarily suspended this ban. This suspension applies to all the countries in the EU except Germany.

The court decision comes hot on the heels of a report by Webwereld that claimed Apple used flawed images of the Galaxy Tab in its German filing. Apple included images of the Tab that made it appear to be the same size and shape as the iPad. The shipping version of the Galaxy Tab 10.1, though, is oblong in shape and much different from the pictures used by Apple.

This potential blunder by Apple could prompt the court to reverse its injunction and allow the sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 throughout Europe.

This website really is garbage at this point. I follow it out of habit, but never really find any more than 1 post a day that is either interesting or correct.

S-s-s-stop it Apple. You're embarrassing yourself. Rely on your products not the court.

Agreed with bsimpson. And let's think about this logically. If this REALLY had anything to do with the doctored image, then why would the German court maintain the ban in Germany but lift it elsewhere? This being a matter of jurisdiction is the only thing that makes sense. I'm becoming increasingly disenchanted with TÚAW these days. The journalism has gotten really sloppy, with a number of articles reading more like hit pieces rife with misinformation and the writers demonstrating poor critical thought skills. Never mind how the spam is out of control.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with the images, and everything to do with questions of jurisdiction. Read your own FOSS link.
