Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 Banned From Sale In Europe

[ritu 1]

A court in Germany has issued orders that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 would face a ban from sale across Europe as it was found that the product of Samsung violates the design patent of Apple's iPad.The tablet of Samsung which is bigger in size,Galaxy Tab 10.1N has been allowed to be sold.

 

In the later part of last year, Samsung faced restrictions from the court when it decided that Samsung Germany was not the same as Samsung Korea, the Korean wing could sell the products across Europe.Somewhat a similar situation,had risen again yesterday when the court declared that Samsung Germany was the local branch of Samsung Korea and had to meet a ban on selling the Galaxy Tab 7.7.

 

Galaxy Tab 10.1N which made its way escaping the ban, had to handle a similar situation last year when the earlier version Galaxy Tab 10.1 was banned in Germany as it bore resemblances with Apple's iPad Community Design.Following that Samsung made noticeable changes in the structure of the Tablet and updated the model name to Galaxy Tab 10.1N and it passed through.

 

Samsung,however, has been considering to appeal against the verdict made by the German court.
