U.S. Judge Grants Apple Injunction Against Samsung Galaxy Tab

Bill Dimm writes "Apple scores a win against Samsung over a design patent. U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh issued a ruling granting Apple's request for a preliminary injunction preventing Samsung from selling its Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the United States. She wrote, 'Although Samsung has a right to compete, it does not have a right to compete unfairly by flooding the market with infringing products. ... While Samsung will certainly suffer lost sales from the issuance of an injunction, the hardship to Apple of having to directly compete with Samsung’s infringing products outweighs Samsung’s harm in light of the previous findings by the Court."

Geeeee boss... didn't know apple users were so stupid! But then, you only confirm my hypothesis...

It seems the stupid one is you. What a lack of logical thinking. The people in questions are _not_ Apple users. They are prospective buyers of iPads, so they are _not_ Apple users. The clever ones turn into Apple users, and the stupid ones turn into Samsung users.

Well ain't that a bunch of deceitful malarky. Those trademarks are about confusing products ie people buying the Samsung product when they thought they were buying the Apple product. No one can claim that. These choice is not hardware but a choice about operating systems and online sales resources. The Android operating system and the Google store versus iOS and the Apple store, no confusion there, Apple's who premise is a lie. People buy the Galaxy Tab specifically because they do not want Apple operating system or the Apple store, no confusion, they are avoiding Apple and the Judge stole their choice, the judge eliminated competition, the judge handed sown an extremely questionable verdict one that stinks of corruption.
