Apple loses against Galaxy Tab 10.1 but manages to ban 7.7 EU-wide

Apple recently accused Samsung that it's Galaxy Tab 10.1 looked a lot like an iPad, and a court in Germany sided with them, banning sales of the tablet in the country, forcing Samsung to redesign the product. The redesigned model, the Galaxy Tab 10.1N is now apparently not enough.

Apple wants to ban the Galaxy Tab 10.1N too, despite it being considered an acceptable redesign that did not infringe on the company's design. Germany disagrees this time, as Apple's bid to ban the 10.1N has failed, after a judge in the city of Düsseldorf rejected their argument. But things haven't gone the same way for the Galaxy Tab 7.7, as rulings have gone Apple's way, getting the tablet banned from sale in all 27 European Union countries. Apple has been fighting Samsung in the tablet war for about a year now and it doesn't seem like it is going to stop anytime soon.
