Sales of Samsun's Galaxy Tab 10.1 are set to come to a screeching halt in Europe.
A preliminary injunction granted to Apple Inc. by a court in Dusseldorf, Germany, will stop the sales and marketing of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet computer across the continent, with the exception of the Netherlands, according to a report by the Telegraph.
The injunction is a significant win for Apple, which in April sued Samsung in a patent dispute alleging the Galaxy tablet and phone lines were rip-offs of the iPad and iPhone.
Samsung was disappointed by the decision and plans to fight the injunction, a spokeswoman for the company said.
