“A ruling from the Dusseldorf Higher Regional Court in Germany turns a new page in the ongoing legal saga between Apple and Samsung, clearing the way for the Korean maker’s redesigned Galaxy Tab 10.1N, but extending a German ban on the smaller Galaxy Tab 7.7 to the entire EU,” Jeff Blagdon reports for The Verge.
“It’s important to keep in mind that this is all based on preliminary injunction requests, and the full trial on the merits is still to be held,” Blagdon reports. “Apple won a preliminary ban [on the Galaxy Tab 7.7] across the EU. Previously, the smaller tablet had only been banned in Germany, but this most recent ruling apparently prevents Samsung’s parent company from selling it anywhere in the EU.”

Right On. And BOY have we patented it. iPhone 2007 Steve Jobs still ROCKS!
Suck it Samsung
…and Google!
…and Microsoft (hey why not?)
…and RIM (sure, why not?) 🙂
Awesome! Maybe the 10.1N will be banned in 2016! Fingers crossed!
Yeah yeah. One thing to look forward too are all the damages Samsung will have to play if/when all their clonal devices are found to be illegal patent ripoffs.

That’s great and all, but I think consumers have pretty-much voluntarily banned themselves from Android tablets.
the problem with Samsung is always wanted to rip Apple of its intellectual property with the help of google. If there had not been ios, google would not think of Android to the disadvantages of using Oracle java for free without authorization. Android is a dead on arrival except it settle its disputes with Apple and Oracle
This is the best news i have heard all day, i wish more judges were as sensible as this German judge. Good ruling on his part. Samdump deserves it

Every little bit helps.
Samsung: Soooo screwed.
