Popular tech patent-analyst Florian Mueller is reporting that Apple has just scored a major legal win in Australia. The Cupertino company has been battling Samsung all over the globe, and it just scored a major victory in Sydney.
On Mueller's blog, FOSSPatents, he discusses the importance of a recent decision by the Federal Court of Australia in the Apple vs. Samsung patent dispute. The court has just ordered an interim injunction over Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1...
Just like Verizon did last week, T-Mobile has submitted an amicus curiae to the court, officially siding with Samsung in its ongoing litigation against Apple. For the non-lawyers, an amicus curiae is when someone volunteers to offer information to assist a court in deciding on an issue.
T-Mobile's argument is similar to Verizon's. Both company don't want to see any of their best-selling 4G devices banned during the holiday season. Obviously, it would be a huge loss for the carriers, who generate a big chunk of revenue from this time of the year...
Most of you know by now that Apple and Samsung are in a grueling court battle. Back in April the Cupertino company filed a lawsuit against Samsung for violating its "trade dress," or in layman's terms, blatantly copying its device designs.
The ongoing litigation has resulted in a temporary ban of Samsung's Galaxy Tab and other devices in multiple countries, and the two companies are about to square off here in the US. Judging by this new "evidence," I'd say Apple has the upper hand...

Welcome to chapter XXVII of the ridiculous legal battle that Samsung and Apple are fighting, mostly over patents dictating who owns what technology. Today's potential lawsuit is brought to you by Samsung.
Even though the iPhone 5 currently is no more than a bunch of rumors and speculations, Samsung already knows for sure that it will bring Apple to court over the iPhone 5 as soon as it hits Korea...
The war of the copycats rages on, with Apple now looking to block sales of Samsung's Galaxy series in Japan. After already filing a lawsuit against Samsung in the US, Australia, Europe, and even the company's home turf in South Korea, Apple has demanded that a ban be put in place on the sales of Samsung's Galaxy tablets and smartphones in Japan as well.
When will it ever end!
The Apple-Samsung lawsuit has been grabbing headlines left and right over the last few months. The action has especially heated up over the past few days, as Samsung tried to prove to a Dutch court that it's not copying Apple's products.
But even with their Kubrick evidence, the judge found the Korean company to be in violation of Apple's patents. The ruling bans Samsung from selling several devices, including the Galaxy S and Galaxy S II, in the European Union...
The ongoing court battle between Apple and Samsung has been nothing short of entertaining. From Samsung's request to see the iPhone 5, to Apple's European Union injunction, the case has been full of action. And it's not over by any means.
The latest twist in the copycat lawsuit takes the entertainment to a whole new level. Since Apple claims that Samsung copied its tablet design with the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Samsung is claiming Apple copied science fiction...

Here at iDB we've covered a lot of lawsuits involving Apple and their hit line of iDevices. Most, if not all, of the litigation has involved patents. You know, those little pieces of paper that tie an invention to its inventors.
In fact, these patents have practically turned into weapons in the warzone that is now the mobile industry. It seems like everyone is suing everyone — it's hard to keep up. Luckily, the folks over at Reuters have made a chart to help us out...
Apple recently won a preliminary injunction case in Europe banning the sales of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1. Based on a case of infringed intellectual property, Apple was able to convince the court that Samsung's tablet copied the design of the iPad too closely, and Apple requested a block of all sales in the European Union until the case could be further investigated.
It looks like Apple doesn't mind playing a little dirty. A report has surfaced that Apple could have allegedly tampered with and falsified evidence against the Samsung Galaxy Tab, and the ban on the tablet's sales has been lifted in Europe while the court investigates.
For those of you who missed it, Samsung agreed to delay the launch of its Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia last week. The move was in direct response to an injunction filed by Apple, who's claiming that Samsung has infringed on some of their patents.
The legal feud has been going on for several months, but it has started to get interesting over the last few weeks. Not only has Apple delayed the Galaxy's Tab launch down under, reports are coming in that they've blocked the tablet in Europe, too...
