  • Apple Wins Injunction Against Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

    Apple has been busy lately filing patents against many manufacturers for infringing their patents. The company is in legal battles with HTC, Motorola and more particularly against Samsung. The legal battle with Samsung started last year in April 2011 when the company filed a lawsuit against Samsung, Apple accused Samsung of copying their design of the Ipad and the Iphone with Samsung’s Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab. Obviously Samsung wouldn’t keep quiet for long and counter-sued Apple. The legal battles continued in many countries like Germany, Netherlands and Australia.

    Apple filed against the Galaxy Tab 10.1 a year ago and they won. According to The Verge, US District Court Judge Lucy Koh ruled out against Samsung and ordered a ban on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 unless Samsung can prove disprove Apple’s design patent. Her order will take perfect once Apple agrees to pay Samsung $2.6 million bond if Samsung can disprove Apple’s patent so Samsung can compensate for the losses. Somehow we doubt Samsung can disprove Apple’s patent, the German court also ruled against Samsung and banned the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Koh took an even harder stance on Samsung.

    Samsung isn’t really going to face significant losses, Galaxy Tab 10.1 may still be on sale but it’s old and it has been succeeded by the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 and a bunch of other tablets which have designs different than the Ipad and are not infringing Apple’s design patent. Well Galaxy Tab 10.1 shouldn’t have been Apple’s target, Apple would have preferred winning against the hot selling Galaxy SIII but something is better than nothing. After a long battle in the court it bore fruit for Apple. Just like Germany, Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is banned and facing a temporary ban in the EU and Australia. Although it did not stop Samsung from selling their products otherwise.

    Samsung has worked on their design since the lawsuit and the newly released Galaxy SIII is a fine example of Samsung’s work.

    For those interested in reading the document from Koh regarding her ruling, go here.

    I’m not a big fan of lawsuits in the tech world but this was hard to miss as this is Apple’s win over Samsung after a long time.
