Court Order Courtesy of Apple Pulls Galaxy Tab 7.7 from IFA Trade Show

Samsung announced a wide range of new products just last week. One of those was the Galaxy Tab 7.7,  the successor to Samsung’s original Galaxy Tab tablet. Although the device was slated to be shown during this year’s IFA Trade Show, Samsung was forced to remove the Galaxy Tab 7.7. This came following a court order courtesy of Apple, according to Florian Mueller from Foss Patents.

Samsung’s 10.1 inch Galaxy Tab was originally banned in Germany, and now it appears Apple has obtained a new injunction against the recently announced Galaxy Tab 7.7.

Samsung had the following to say regarding the court order:

“Samsung respects the court’s decision,” a rep noted, adding that the company believes the order “severely limits consumer choice in Germany. Samsung will pursue all available options, including legal action, to defend its intellectual property rights”

This sort of thing could continue for months to come until Apple and Samsung reach a decisive agreement.
