“Samsung welcomes the Düsseldorf District Court’s decision to suspend the pan-European preliminary injunction against the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.”– Rachel Jones, Samsung
Early in August Apple filed a complaint with the EU, over the Samsung Galaxy Tab. Apple claims the Samsung tablet is too similar to the iPad 2. At first the EU court agreed, but has now allowed the sale of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab in most EU member countries.
One legal analysts, Frank Mueller, says Apple still has a chance to beat Samsung, because the EU laws are too ambiguous, and open to much interpretation. However, if Apple pursued the case it would “…reinforce a lot of people’s impression that Apple’s enforcement of design-related rights is… overreaching in some areas.”
