| Subject: Copyrights: Apple wins battle to block Samsung tablets in Australia Thu Oct 13, 2011 3:54 am | |
| An Australian court has temporarily banned the sale of Samsung Electronics' tablet computer in Australia, a victory for Apple in its global patent dispute with the South Korean company.
Apple has accused Samsung of copying its touch-screen technology for its Galaxy Tab 10.1.
The two companies are embroiled in legal battles in nine countries.
Samsung is one of Apple's biggest challengers in the smartphone and tablet industry.
The decision by the federal court threatens to hurt Samsung's position in the Australian market, as it could miss the lucrative Christmas season.
The two companies have been locked in patent disputes since April, with each accusing the other of infringing patents.
