By bringing an action carillon on the copy of the design, Apple has been able to obtain an injunction against the sale of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 across the European Union in one fell swoop. By Jesper Stein Sandal Followjespersandal Wednesday, August 10, 2011 - 14:52
Similar to Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 Apple iPad to confusion? Supposedly there are enough similarities between the two, to a court Düsseldorf has decided to close a temporary ban on the sale of Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Apple has supposedly brought the case on the basis of the EU Community Design rules. It covers only the appearance and not the electronics or software. But it also means that Apple could get an injunction, valid throughout the Union, only with a single decision.
"Basically, you can not get an injunction applicable throughout the EU, if it was a patent case. But because it is designed to apply the all Member States, "explains partner Claus Barrett Christiansen from the law firm Bech-Bruun carillon to Version2.
Apple has brought several similar cases around the world, and Samsung, among other things agreed carillon to postpone the launch of the Tablet carillon PC in Australia because of a pending case. Decisions in the other cases could also come into play if the European cause in Germany when so far.
"Samsung will protect its intellectual property rights in Germany with lawful steps. We will also continue to defend our rights in the world, "says Samsung's German division, according to Reuters.
If the action carillon leads to the ban is upheld, there must be an actual lawsuit, which could then be appealed. In this case, the case will probably also be passed on to a third body, which will be the German Supreme Court.
In case the court will have to decide how much Samsung's design is similar to Apple's. Here it can be crucial when particularly Apple's design of the first iPad is considered to have been when it first appeared. If the design is estimated to have been unique, Apple will probably also get a very wide protection of the design.

So how broadly covers design protection? If consumers want a tablet ie a rectangular black / white unit with rounded edges, carillon can you write the specification as a protected design, and there is some precedent for the interpretation in some other industries?
A square with rounded corners should not be a protected design. DRS 'Hammerhead carillon tablet PC has otherwise been on the market for years - and is square with rounded corners: http://www.drs-ts.com/walkabout/products_specs_hh.html
But as I said, possibilities of variation of skærmtavles design quite limited, so the question is whether the design is a natural and logical consequence of the form factor, or whether carillon there should be a special insight or idea to to find it: The more minimal design is , the less time-a designer will be above it.
Immediately black the most obvious color to a margin and rounded corners also works naturally (and both have frequently been used before iPad). So it's metal edge and the dimensions of the elements that is the only thing Apple can actually come for. But perhaps it is also enough.
How much difference is there right on a LG, Sony, Samsung etc television. A rectangular box with a frame on. There must be some of the manufacturers who violate others' Comnunity Design ". It may even be that Samsung carillon can sell Tablet PCs as small intelligent television.
What then something crap - Try compare an iPad or Galaxy TAB with the tablets were made 10 years ago and so it is hardly difficult to see there are marked differences in spite of all is square with a screen.
It amounts to an allegation that a chair, a house or a car all similar and it is not the case - there is extreme significant differences between many of them. It was exactly what started this whole tablet races that Apple submitted a fresh proposal for how it should be done and with great success. So because you may not have the imagination to imagine a tablet may look very different then it's not to say there are not many design people and others who find the new bid and perhaps in the future will move completely around the market once again.

Try to compare a Panasonic or Sony TV today with the TV, you did 10 years ago, and so it is hardly difficult to see that there are marked differences in spite of all is square carillon with a screen.
Display boards 10 years ago so different, because the technology was different, like modern TV looks different than those made 10 years ago because the technology is different: It did not super thin
