Dutch Court Denies Apple’s Appeal and Allows Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 Sales To Flourish

Man, I hate Apple.  Did I type that out loud?  Sorry about that folks, there’s just something about a company who sues everything with a heartbeat because they’ve produced a slate device in the shape of a rectangle, has a touch screen, a power button and allows you to swipe things.  It’s just downright getting annoying now.  Well, it’s nice to see that a court in Hague has stuck it to Apple as they denied their request to ban the tab 10.1 in the Netherlands.  The folks over at NU.nl have reported that late last year another Dutch court ruled similarly in which the Cupertino boys quickly appealed with the ridiculous notion that Samsung’s Galaxy Tab was too similar to the iPad 2.  Today, the Hague court quickly determined that Apple had no leg to stand on here and that the two devices exhibited plenty of differences to compete in the market together.  Stay tuned because as you know, the legal battle isn’t over.  This is but one patent dispute among many between the two industry giants.  However, today, Samsung gets to claim the small but righteous victory.  Any thoughts?  Feel free to plug away in the comments below.
