Dutch court, Samsung Galaxy Tablet does not Infringe iPad’s Design


Galaxy Tab
Samsung's Galaxy tablets do not infringe Apple's design patents, Dutch Court has ruled. Reuters wrote that the devices of Samsung electronics with round corners (Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 8.9, and Galaxy Tab 7.7) did not copy from Apple’s iPad. The Dutch court also noted that the tablets have similar rectangular shape and rounded corners, but the design and presentation of devices are different, BGR.com added.

"We continue to believe that Apple was not the first to design a tablet with a rectangular shape and rounded corners and that the origins of Apple's registered design features can be found in numerous examples," Reuter added Samsung’s comment.

The German court also ruled that Samsung’s tablet did not copy from Apple’s rectangle corner design last year. The court said that there were “clear differences” between the Galaxy Tab 10.1N and the iPad, Reuters’ report.
