Today a court in Dusseldorf, Germany, rejected the appeal made by the Samsung company against the decision to ban the sale of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet. The call comes a few months after Apple imposed a decision by which it had the power to stop sales of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet and that decision remains in force. Samsung designed the tablet Galaxy Tab 10.1N to evade the prohibitions imposed by the German justice system, but that tablet was also attacked by Apple in court, but that lawsuit is being resolved.
Samsung Electronics lost a bid to overturn a ruling barring its local unit from selling its Galaxy 10.1 tablets in Germany, handing a symbolic legal victory to Apple Inc in efforts to keep its lead spot in the tablet computer market. A higher regional court in Duesseldorf, Germany, said on Tuesday that Samsung may not sell the older version of its Galaxy tablet in Europe's biggest economy.
This is the third consecutive defeat for Samsung, the first two coming last weeks when lawsuits regarding 3G communication technologies were resolved in favor of Apple. Samsung did not start the year well from a legal point of view, but the victories obtained by Apple do not have a significant importance now.
