Aug. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- Since then, the two have traded colorful legal briefs, as well as complaints against one another with the U.S. International Trade Commission, attempting similar bans of each other's allegedly infringing products in the U.S. Apple has kept mum on the result of today's injunction, though company spokeswoman Kristin Huguet reissued a statement Apple delivered with its original suit against Samsung in April to Bloomberg this afternoon.

"It's no coincidence that Samsung's latest products look a lot like the iPhone and iPad, from the shape of the hardware to the user interface and even the packaging," Huguet said. "This kind of blatant copying is wrong, and we need to protect Apple's intellectual property when companies steal our ideas."

Following this morning's news about Apple winning a preliminary injunction against Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Europe, Samsung has responded by saying that not only did the company never hear about the filing in the first place, but that it also never had the chance to present its side.

The back and forth between the two technology companies kicked off in April with an Apple lawsuit filed against Samsung in the U.S. alleging that the consumer electronics giant had violated its intellectual property in the design of its mobile devices. Like the EU injunction, that suit takes aim specifically at the Galaxy series of smartphones and tablets, as well as other Samsung smartphones, for "copying" Apple's user interface and design features. Samsung returned the favor a week later, countersuing Apple, alleging that the iPhone and iPad maker was infringing on several of its patents.

The legal ramp up comes at a time when both companies are vying for the top spot across multiple product fronts. Recent reports like one from Strategy Analytics last week noted that Apple and Samsung had leapfrogged Nokia to nab the top segments of smartphone market share. Meanwhile, Samsung's Galaxy line of tablets is the company's effort to reach similar highs against products like Apple's iPad in the tablet market: www.featherhairextensionsus.com

 That's a stark contrast to the statement issued by Samsung in Australia just last week, wherein it noted that it had reached an amicable agreement with Apple and the Federal Court of Australia not to sell its existing Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet, and instead make a special version for the Australian market.
