The Düsseldorf court that enjoined Samsung Germany from selling its
Android-based Galaxy Tab 10.1 anywhere in Germany - or anywhere in the
European Union for that matter - stuck by its guns Friday when it refused to
lift the month-old temporary injunction.
The court figures the Galaxy looks too much like the iPad's protected design.
It had already given Apple a second preliminary injunction after Samsung
turned up at an annual consumer electronics show in Berlin a few days before
