Apple Tells Retailers To Stop Selling Certain Samsung Devices

Posted by Soulskill on from the getting-a-bit-ahead-of-ourselves dept.

walterbyrd writes with news that Apple has been sending out letters to carriers and retailers who sell the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Galaxy Nexus, informing them of a court-mandated ban on sales and warning them against continuing to market the devices. The court order for the patent case on the Galaxy Tab says Samsung and "those acting in concert" with them are enjoined from selling the devices, and Apple has used the letters to point this out. Samsung, of course, disagrees: "Apple’s menacing letters greatly overreach, incorrectly claiming that third-party retailers are subject to the prohibitions of the preliminary injunction, which they clearly are not."

    Except for this part: are enjoined from making, using, offering to sell, or selling within the United States

    It's black and white. Not ambiguous. Not arguable. You may not like it, and I'm sure that's why the parent was modded down, but it's stated pretty clearly. Apple won the injunction, and it would be foolish of them to not leverage it.

  2. Apple Sends Cops To Seize Galaxy Nexus by walterbyrd · · Score: 0, Troll

    Two Galaxy Nexus owners have reported that LAPD raided their flats and seized their Galaxy Nexus phones and Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets. The cops said that these customers bought the phone while there was a ban on these devices. The LAPD later said that these devices will not be returned to the customers and all the data stored on the device will become the property of the department unless the matter is resolved in the court.
