After losing in the German courts, the Samsung again had to accept the decision of banning the sale of Samsung S Galaxy, Galaxy II and Galaxy Ace in the Netherlands for having violated a patent Apple. This decision will apply from October 13 later if there is no defense action from Samsung. However, Samsung believes that patent infringement can be overcome easily by removing the existing Gallery application on their products.
In this court alleges that Apple products Samsung has violated some of his patent the method for rolling up the screen, the method of opening locks by pulling a cell phone picture, and about multi-touch. This ability seems to be the feature that Android 2.3 and not the UI used ToucWiz Samsung. Of all charges Apple, Samsung decided to violate one patent court only course that features the image by shifting the image in the gallery (photo swipe).
This ruling will apply in the Dutch branch of Samsung, which is considered as a key into the Samsung product sales distribution networks in Europe. However, this decision will not hinder the sale is considered the Samsung. Besides the patent of the Gallery is also not registered in several EU member states so that the ruling does not apply in some countries.
In addition to the smartphone products, the judge also ruled that the patent infringement also occurs in tablet Samsung products ie Galaxy Tab 10.1 and 10.1v. However the court did not order the ban on sales of both types of products. Galaxy Tab 10.1 itself has banned its sale in Germany after it was banned and then canceled ban in some other European countries.
