Samsung is now in a big trouble, but it's not the most serious one to face. We've seen both Samsung's Galaxy ranges, smartphone or tablets lines, seem to be designed very similarly with iDevices, iPhones and iPads. Apple's claim is won by a German patents court, making it the first Samsung's device to be blocked by Apple in the Europe. Yep, the giant American company, Apple, won a preliminary injunction with an issue of design patent. We got the confirmation today.
It is predicted that Samsung can't sell its Galaxy Tabs in the Europe, because patents court will also be held in the Hague, Netherlands, on Wednesday. Ten of thousands Galaxy Tabs have been there in the continent ready to be enjoyed by all Samsung's lovers, but those all wouldn't be in stores until an agreement is reached.
What do you feel if you're now in Samsung's side? Your answer may vary. Clearly, Samsung is disappointed. As quoted from the Guardian, the company plans to defend their intellectual property rights in Germany, through a legal process too, not only in the Europe, but also throughout the world.
We can just take two conclusions. Apple's afraid of losing its bite of cake, because the Galaxy Tab devices are tagged at far cheaper prices compared to the iDevices. It's good for those of you who don't need a brand, considering functionality is our priority. But, we should also pay extra attention that it's suck if your style is stolen. In which side are you now?
As said before, this shouldn't be a dispute to turn your attention, Samsung. Creating more and more premium devices with reasonable prices should be in your top to-do list now. But remember, you shouldn't be like everyone else's design.
