In full hangover after the shadow of fraud in the evidence presented by Apple in the German court of Dí¼sseldorf against Samsung, it has been known that the veto that weighed in Europe for the marketing of the latest tablet from the South Korean firm, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, has been repealed.
Although the German courts have not yet given the green light to the marketing of the device within the borders of the country, it seems to have been recognized the lack of competence of the German authorities to prevent the sale of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 outside the region.
Likewise, the ban on selling the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 continues to be extended to the rest of Europe, in the event that they are units distributed by the German division of the Korean manufacturer.
Due to a dispute centered on the alleged unauthorized use of Apple patents in the development of Samsung products, the Cupertino- based multinational stopped the marketing of the latest tablet from the Korean company (the first with Android 3.1 Honeycomb).
The controversy jumped when a Dutch media outlet showed one of the evidence presented by Apple in its argument against Samsung, supporting the plagiarism thesis, in which it can be seen how the model of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 was manipulated so that its resemblance to the iPad 2 is as blatant as possible.
In any case, in principle this supposed and still unproven manipulation would not have been the reason why the guideline imposed from Germany would have been repealed. By contrast, the basis of this change would be in the fact that the ban on the sale of the terminal imposed by the court of Dí¼sseldorf can not extend beyond the borders of the country, at the least, until clarified the facts alleged by Apple.
