Australian Federal Court Ends Ban On Samsung Galaxy Tab Sales

Posted by Soulskill on from the apple-invented-the-kangaroo dept.

New submitter Dedokta writes "The Australian Federal Court has overturned the injunction placed on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and ordered Apple to pay court costs. Apple has applied for an appeal with the Supreme Court, but Samsung is now free to sell the Galaxy Tab within Australia. Samsung is not off the hook yet, however; the full case to see if they have indeed infringed upon Apple patents is still to be heard early next year."

  1. Consumers will suffer because of this decision by jmcbain · · Score: -1, Troll

    In the end, the ones who are hurt the most by this decision are the Australian consumers because there will undoubtedly be lesser-educated folks who will buy a Galaxy Tab instead of an iPad. It's quite unfortunate. Whenever I see someone with an Android phone, it basically screams "Yeah, this is where I am in life. It's not where I want to be, but I'm doing my best." Best of luck to them.
