German Court Upholds Ban On Samsung Galaxy Tab

Verily I say unto thee that Hardon spake thusly:

"It seems Samsung has finally lost the battle against Apple in
Germany. Today the district court in Düsseldorf ruled that Samsung
must not sell its Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Germany. Furthermore, it has
banned Samsung Germany from selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 anywhere in
Europe."

Will this stupidity never end? When will Apple fight competition on
product value in an open market instead of resorting to bullying
tactics in the courts?

Unbelievable! The judge is either a doddering old fool who's never even
seen a tablet before, or he's as bent as a 3 Deutsche Mark note. He
obviously never saw the Netherlands verdict either.

At least this only applies in Germany though, and not across the whole
of the EU. And Samsung is going to appeal. They better win, or the
consequences will be devastating ... and not just for Samsung, or even
Android in general.

Does this judge even realise what he's just done? He's just upheld a
patent on a "rounded rectangle". Idiot!
