Samsung has banned the sale of three models of Galaxy Smartphone in many European countries.
The start order was by a court in the Netherlands for Apple file a claim of patent infringement. It claimed that Samsung had copied their own technology from Apple about the way that are photos on mobile devices. The prohibition is to come in seven weeks in result.
A District Court in Hague confirms Apple's get a specific patent - EP-2059868 - it provides an interface to view and navigate photos on a touchscreen phone.
However, the judge had patent problems, as also of Apple claim that Samsung had stolen much of his designs.
The judgment concerns the Galaxy S, Galaxy S II and Galaxy ACE models. It prohibits not sell from the Samsung Galaxy tab, which the original complaint been mentioned.
Apple claim Samsung copied his design despite the forthcoming embargo, Samsung welcome the ruling. In a statement that said company: "Today's decision is a confirmation that the Galaxy range of innovative and distinctive is."
"On that single infringement to name a few in the judgment we will all possible events, including legal action to ensure that there is no error in the access to our Galaxy smartphones Dutch consumers."
Seems that the company consider that the judgment only directly restricts the sale of Galaxy smartphones in the Netherlands.
"This decision is no consequence on sales in other European markets have not surprisingly", continued the statement.
Like many technology companies, Samsung Netherlands used to import most of its goods in the European Union.
Sale of equipment from three Dutch subsidiaries in UK, France, Germany, Finland, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Monaco, Sweden and Switzerland ban the interim injunction.
Patent litigation blogger Florian Mueller said that Samsung distribution model meant the ruling effectively amounts to a de-facto throughout Europe ban.
Mr. Müller wrote "If Samsung's Korean parent company needs to send his freedom of choice in other European countries despite this arrangement, it have to sort your logistics chain in Europe,".
Samsung's photo management system is in turn part of the Google Android operating system, signal that Apple could be similar action against other phone vendors.
For this reason, it seems likely that Google might now perhaps issue an urgent update to Android. A vigorous campaign of litigation by Apple, which has secured also a German embargo on sales of Galaxy-tab 10.1 is Samsung and their mobile devices.
