The EU-wide ban on Samsung’s latest 10.1″ Galaxy Tab tablet originally exempted The Netherlands. And luckily for Samsung it will stay that way for a few more weeks. A Netherland judge has ruled that any decision on a ban within the country will have to wait until September 15th at the earliest. (Apple had been trying to rush through a judgment/injunction.)
According to FOSS Patent’s Florian Mueller, the particular patent infringement claims made by Apple in the Dutch court are more vague than the EU counterparts and even delve deeper into the software side of things instead of just hardware design as do the EU claims.
The fight continues…
Update
The EU-wide ban has been suspended for the time being pending a new ruling on August 25th.
