“Samsung Electronics Co. failed to convince a German court to hear oral arguments before issuing an injunction in favor of Apple Inc. banning sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet computer in most European Union countries,” Karin Matussek reports for Bloomberg.
“Samsung on July 29 filed a so-called ‘protective brief’ as part of the dispute it has with Apple over the design of its device, the Dusseldorf Regional court said in an e-mailed statement today,” Matussek reports. “On Aug. 4, Apple filed a 44-page motion seeking the injunction. While judges took Samsung’s arguments into account, they ruled for Apple, the court said.”

Matussek reports, “Apple is also seeking a court order to block sales in the U.S. until a trial can be held on patent-infringement claims there. In Australia, Samsung has agreed not to introduce a version of the Galaxy tablet computer until a lawsuit Apple filed there is resolved… Samsung, based in Suwon, South Korea, yesterday filed a motion to lift the EU ban and the court scheduled a hearing in the case for Aug. 25. Samsung said it will make further arguments in the case, the court said.”
