Samsung Galaxy Tab: Australian court lifts Apple injunction against sale

Surprised someone else hadn't posted this already

Report from The Grauniad

Samsung is closer to selling its new Galaxy tablet computer in Australia after a court on Wednesday overturned a ruling that favoured Apple's allegations that Samsung had copied its iPad and iPhone.

But Samsung will have to wait a few more days before it can begin selling the Galaxy, after Apple indicated it would appeal to the nation's high court. The federal court agreed to keep the injunction in place until Friday while that issue is pending. Samsung might still be able to capitalise on the Christmas shopping season in Australia if it can ultimately win the patent war.

And from the FT:

In a separate case, Samsung has also tried to block sales of Apple’s latest iPhone 4S by seeking court injunctions against Apple in Australia and three other countries. An Australian court is scheduled to hear the case in March and April next year with sales allowed to continue until the hearings.

Probably because it's only real news if the highest court agrees... until you reach the top and win , they still can't sell...
