Sale of Samsung Galaxy Tab Blocked in the EU

bizwriter writes with a news piece in bnet about the continuing battle between Samsung and Apple. From the article: "In a stunning and painful decision for Samsung, Apple got a German court to issue a preliminary injunction against the Galaxy Tab. According to patent analyst and blogger Florian Mueller, that means Samsung cannot ... sell its tablet in the entire European Union, except for the Netherlands."

Is that what's happening here? Cause what it seems the court saw is that a Korean company decided to take for its own use protected intellectual property.

I guess it's hard to reconcile that with the geek dream that Apple is running scared, though. Also, Microsoft is dying.

samsung ripped off 'the rectangle', and 'rounded corners' ....

i think we have to thank apple for invention of 'the rectangle' and 'rounded corners', since apparently they were the inventors of these very important concepts, because everyone else into stone age has been so stupid that noone invented them ...................... not.

please, get real.
