Ouch...
Reportedly, Samsung was never informed about the filing there and only found out after the decision.
zridling:
Fighting to overcharge customers for 30 years now! I'll buy a Galaxy Tab next year just to piss off Stevie boy.
lanux128:
right after "major victory", there is this teeny-tiny admission.
Apple spokeswoman Kristin Huguet confirmed that a district court in Dusseldorf, Germany, granted the preliminary injunction.

now we can expect a counter-suit by Samsung in the EU just like elsewhere and the case will drag on..
Carol Haynes:
They will counter-sue but the damage is done in the EU - after all the advertising/promotion they are not allowed to sell any Galaxy 10.1 tablets that aren't already in the shops. If you live in the EU and want one don't wait!
Actually they will win in court (have you seen the stupid patent app!).
In the long run Samsung will come out on top in the EU - all everyone will remember was that the Samsung Galaxy 10.1 was the first device to really get Apple worried - especially as all the reviews say it is better than iPad2

Drag on because inventing a black rectangle with rounded corners is just so brilliantly innovative...
Hey! I claim dibs on white circles with black dots in them! :P
