A US court has barred the sale of
Samsung's new Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet computer, siding with Apple in a bitter clash
between the tech giants over suspected patent breach.
The district court of California banned
the sales because it said that there was evidence that Samsung had copied the design
of apple product. Samsung officials were clearly disappointed at the ruling. Apple
was asked to post security bond of 2.6million dollars in case Samsung was later
found not guilty of infringement.
The patent war has now been going
on for quite a while between apple and Samsung. Recently, a hearing in Netherlands
cleared Samsung of infringement. While in 2011 the sale of galaxy tablet was
banned in Germany due to apple winning a law suit against Samsung. Innovation
seems to be the need of time rather than such tech giants accusing each other
of copying their designs and stealing their patents. Other than apple other
giants such as Microsoft and Google are also blaming each other of patent infringement.
