Judge Requests iPad Sales Figures in Australian Galaxy Tab Suit
As a preliminary injunction holds the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 from Australian shelves, the judge presiding over the suit filed by Apple has requested to see iPad sales figures for the US and UK in order to better understand the impact of Samsung’s tablet. As Apple’s case largely rests on the Android tablet creating confusion due to its similar “functionality and appearance” to the iPad, leading to lower sales than should be expected, the company will surely be resilient to reveal that sales are up 183 percent from last year. As Samsung continues to strongly defend its Galaxy Tab, we find it hard to believe that a figure such as that could have any judge believing that the Galaxy Tab has caused a significant reduction in the movement of iPads.
