Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Barred From Sale in Europe

 by Todd Wasserman

Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 is being bounced from another continent.

The Regional Court of Dusseldorf, Germany, has granted Apple a preliminary injunction against Samsung, preventing it from selling and marketing the device in Europe — except for the Netherlands. The court sided with Apple’s claim that Samsung’s device infringed on Apple’s patents and copied parts of the iPad 2. While Samsung can appeal the ruling, it won’t be able to do so for at least four weeks.

Europe is the second continent to ban the sale of the device on these grounds after the tablet’s launch was delayed in Australia on August 1. The tablet hit the U.S. market on June 8.
