Wall Street Journal- Asia notes that the Samsung Apple IP battle in Germany continues to wage on…. Seems like both see Germany as vital in their IP dispute.
SEOUL—Samsung Electronics Co. said Thursday that the Munich Regional Court has rejected Apple Inc.’s request to ban sales in Germany of the Korean company’s tablet computers and Nexus smartphones.
Apple filed the preliminary injunction request in November last year seeking to ban sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1N tablet and the Galaxy Nexus smartphone, saying that the electronics maker had infringed upon patents owned by the iPhone maker.
The decision comes after the Mannheim Regional Court in Germany ruled against Samsung last week, saying Apple hadn’t violated one of the Korean company’s technical patents as part of a broader patent dispute.
Samsung said it welcomes the latest ruling.
Apple Korea spokesman Steve Park reiterated the statement Apple has been making since the legal dispute began, saying the company will protect its intellectual property.
