Apple’s bid to keep the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 banned from sale in Australia has failed, with a ruling from the Federal Court meaning that the tablet will go back on shelves.
Apple had managed to win an injunction against the sale of the Tab 10.1 over patents, Samsung’s appeal was then granted but the Californian company asked for, and received, a stay to seek its own appeal, meaning the injunction stayed in place.
However, the Federal Court has now ruled that Samsung can sell the product in Australia, at least until the case hits the patent courts next year.
