"While Samsung has the right to compete with Apple, it has no right to unfair competition by flooding the market with counterfeit products," District Judge Lucy Koh wrote in their explanation. According to Reuters, Samsung will probably appeal to the competent Court of Appeals in Washington Appeal against the decision.
"Apple has applied for based on a single design patent, which describes only one aspect of the overall design of the product, an injunction against the Galaxy Tab 10.1", Reuters quoted a Samsung spokesman. "If Apple continues to derive rights from such a general patent, this could restrict design innovation and progress in the industry."
An Apple spokeswoman simply repeated an earlier statement, Samsung have obviously copied the design of the iPad. "We have to defend Apple's intellectual property when companies steal our ideas."
Apple is trying for some time to stop the sale of Samsung's Android tablets. Last October, a judge had ruled Koh, Samsung's Galaxy product line that Apple infringed patents. A ban in December, still she refused on the grounds that Apple is justified by the sale of the Samsung tablets no resulting damage available. In May, an appeals court overturned that decision again. Thus, the ban applies only to the beginning of the trial on 30 July.
Apple and Samsung have been arguing for months that the iPhone smartphones and tablets of the Koreans and copies of Apple's iPad, and who are used whose patents without a license. Had started the conflict in April 2011 with a case of a district court in California filed suit Apple, the Samsung has responded with several counterclaims since then. Meanwhile the conflict concerned courts in Australia, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, South Korea, France, Italy and the United States.
