Apple wins partial victory in German court over Samsung tablet
Play
Dusseldorf - Apple scored a partial victory Tuesday in aGerman court in its battle with Samsung over tablet computers, gaining a declaration that Samsung cannot sell the 7.7-inch versionof its Galaxy Tab series anywhere in the European Union.
However the appeals court in Dusseldorf upheld a lower-courtruling denying to Apple a Germany-wide ban on the Galaxy Tab 10.1N, a larger device which Samsung re-modelled for the European market to side-step the legal challenges.
US-based Apple accuses the South Korean company of copying the look and feel of its best-selling iPad. Apple was appealing after losing its case in February in a German state court. The companies are at odds worldwide over patents and legally registered designs.//DPA
