Apple Adds Australia To Court Victories Against Samsung

Apple has won a major court victory in Australia banning the sale of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the country.

It's just one of several legal action being taken by Apple worldwide claiming Samsung have "slavishly" copied the iPhone and iPad with its range of Galaxy devices.

Justice Annabelle Bennett today said Apple had a prima facie case that Samsung had infringed two of its patents relating to touch screens and the gestures that control them.
"The balance of convenience was almost even ... there were several factors that favoured Apple."

Yesterday, Samsung announced it will release a range of modified Galaxy smartphones to evade an Apple-won ban in Europe.
