Credeati ca disputele legale dintre Samsung si Apple s-au terminat? Daca da, atunci va anunt ca astazi Apple a obtinut dreptul de a interzice vanzarea tabletei Galaxy Tab 7.7 in intreaga Uniune Europeana. Decizia vine de la o instanta din Dusseldorf care a respins cererea Apple e a interzice comercializarea Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1N, dar a oferit companiei din Cupertino dreptul de a interzice, in intreaga UE, vanzarea Galaxy Tab 7.7. Apple castigase dreptul de a interzice vanzarea acestei tablete in Germania, insa decizia de astazi ii permite sa o scoata din vanzare in intreaga Uniune Europeana si vorbim aici despre piete extrem de importante pentru Samsung.
Samsung welcomes the court’s ruling which confirms our position that the GALAXY Tab 10.1N does not infringe Apple’s intellectual property and does not infringe laws against unfair competition. Should Apple continue to make legal claims based on such a generic design patent, design innovation and progress in the industry could be restricted.
Samsung is disappointed with the court’s ruling. We will continue to take all available measures, including legal action, to protect our intellectual property rights and defend against Apple’s claims to ensure our products remain available to consumers throughout the European Union.
Decizia de astazi nu mira foarte multa lume, avand in vedere ca tableta era deja scoasa din vanzare in Germania, insa este din nou confirmat faptul ca Samsung a preluat fara drept elemente ale iPad care sunt protejate prin brevete de inventie ale Apple. Multi fani Samsung au “uitat” rapid ca Apple a blocat vanzarea unor tablete in Germania, Australia si SUA, iar decizia de astazi readuce in discutie problemele pe care producatorul asiatic le are cu respectarea muncii altora.
