Another legal setback for Samsung in German patent fight with Apple The Globe and Mail

Apple first sued Samsung in April, claiming that the maker of the Galaxy range of smartphones and tablets “slavishly” copied Apple’s iPhone and iPad models.The ruling on the first full hearing in Germany comes after Samsung won a round against Apple in early December when an Australian court lifted a ban on the sale of its Galaxy tablet computer in time for the busy Christmas shopping season.That triumph was tempered by a setback the previous day in Paris where another court rejected its bid to block sales of Apple’s iPhone 4S in France.The quarrel has triggered expectations that some of the pair’s $5-billion-plus relationship may be up for grabs.
