Samsung has been banned from selling three models of its Galaxy
smartphones in a number of European countries.

The preliminary injunction was handed down by a court in the
Netherlands after Apple filed a claim for patent infringement.

It claimed that Samsung had copied technology owned by Apple relating
to the way photos are displayed on mobile devices.

The embargo is due to come into effect in seven weeks.

A district court in the Hague upheld Apple's claim concerning one
specific patent - EP 2059868 - which outlines an interface for viewing
and navigating photographs on a touchscreen phone.

The ruling does _not_ prohibit sales of the Samsung Galaxy Tab, which
had been mentioned in the original lawsuit.

For Christmas I defiantly want to buy myself a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.

However, the judge rejected several other patent issues, as well as
Apple's claim that Samsung had stolen many of its design ideas.

Let's see how well Apple's bogus "claims" stand up in court.

They should probably leave their copy of Photoshop at home, though.

Basically the judge rejected *all* of Apple's claims except for one
relating to how pictures are scrolled in the Photo Gallery App Android
2.2, not 3.0. And even that one decision, which can be easily circumvented
with a trivial change, has already been appealed by Samsung.

The best part of today's decision is that *all* of the "community design"
crap has been thrown out. The judge rejected it on, basically, two points,
too superficial and tons of of prior art. Sanity prevails. Doesn't look
good for Apple in Germany.

Apple has won a strategic battle against rival Samsung--and
Android--in a Dutch court, which has told the Korean company
to stop importing select smartphones.
...
Samsung isn't the only company affected by this decision,
though. Android itself is now in jeopardy.
...
"Regardless of how Samsung may be able to work around this
decision in Europe," said FOSS Patents, "it's a severe blow
for Android. In all likelihood, the winning patent is
infringed by Android itself--probably not the operating
system per se, but by one or more of the applications that
ship with Android and without which the usefulness of Android
would be impaired in one particular area (photo viewing).
Apple now has the first enforceable court decision in its
hand (out of many lawsuits going on around the world) that
finds Android to infringe an Apple patent."

Poor Apple... they might have wanted a bigger win.

LOL!

It was iBad of them to use a proprietary photo package.

If they had used Gimp I would have complained less.

Just so that all the trolls know, in case the retards start wondering.

Double standards I know.
