Computer giants Apple have won a court case in Australia banning one of their main rivals from selling there product there. Apple brought up yhis dispute with regard to their tablet pc the iPad which they claim there rival producer Samsung copied their technology in their Tag 10.1 device.
However this isnt the only place where there is a legal battle between these two technology giants, apple also won asimilar case in germany also banning the sale of the Samsung device there. Also with Apple announcing last week the launch of the new iPhone 4s samsung have vowet to try stop the sale of these in some countries in europe under 3G transmission patents. In my opinion i think this is a under handed tactic by Apple to try and stop competitors selling a rival product and honestly there must be some infringment in competition law by this behaviour. Whether or not this behaviour will damage Apple's Reputation remains to be seen.
