Will Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 appear in Russia after the official ban?
The district court in Düsseldorf imposed a temporary ban on the sale of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet computers throughout the European Union, with the exception of the Netherlands. The ban was imposed in response to the demands of the American company Apple, which accused a competitor of patent infringement and copying industrial design. This information was confirmed to Bloomberg by an Apple spokeswoman.
In the Netherlands, a separate lawsuit is under way. Apple simultaneously filed two lawsuits in connection with some differences in the laws of the European Union and the Netherlands in the field of patent law.
In addition to the sale ban, Apple demanded that Samsung be fined $ 350 thousand for each subsequent violation of the lawsuit, and if necessary, deprive members of Samsung’s management of their freedom for up to 2 years.

Samsung stated that they did not receive any notification from the court, noting that the decision was made without Samsung’s participation and the provision of evidence of innocence from her. The company intends to take countermeasures, which is a standard way of responding to such court decisions.
Potrebiteli.ru received an official comment on the current situation from Sergey Pevnev, Marketing Director of Samsung Electronics Rus Company:
“We regret the judicial decision limiting sales of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet in European countries. Samsung intends to respond promptly to protect its intellectual property in ongoing legal proceedings in Germany and will continue to assert its rights around the world. This court decision does not apply to the Russian market. The date of the start of sales of the tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Russia will be officially announced on August 11. ”
Also, the situation was commented by the expert of the public movement Consumers.RU Olga Skorobogatova:
“In my opinion, the aggravation of relations between the two giants will have an extremely negative impact on consumers. The company Apple, accusing Samsung of allegedly copying the look and feel of the Galaxy Tab tablet, and having banned its sale, made it impossible for many Samsung fans to buy long-awaited gadgets. In Europe (except the Netherlands), only apple tablets will be on sale, consumers have no right to choose. It is sad! Most likely due to such a ban, the price of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in those countries to which the ban does not apply, will increase as demand increases. Moreover, Samsung will somehow have to cover its losses. In the end, the consumer will suffer again. ”
