Samsung pulls Galaxy Tab 7.7 from IFA in Berlin
TT Correspondent |  |  05 Sep 2011

Samsung Electronics had to pull out its just unveiled Galaxy Tab 7.7 from one of the world’s largest electronics shows after Apple Inc. (AAPL) won a second injunction blocking Galaxy Tab sales in Germany, a Bloomberg report says.

 

Aple had requested a Dusseldorf court on Sept. 2 to ban sales and marketing of the product, the report James Chung, a Seoul-based spokesman for Samsung quoted as saying.

 

“Samsung respects the court’s decision,” Chung said, adding that the company believes it “severely limits consumer choice in Germany.” Samsung will pursue all available options, including legal action, to defend its intellectual property rights, he said.

 

Samsung and Apple, maker of the iPad, are involved in legal disputes across three continents, as Apple -- also one of the biggest customers for the South Korean manufacturer’s chips and displays -- claims the Galaxy devices copied its iPhone and iPad. Last month, the Dusseldorf Regional Court granted Apple a temporary sales ban on the earlier Galaxy Tab 10.1 model in 26 of the 27 European Union member countries.
