Australian High Court Denies Apple's Request to Appeal Overturned Injunction

The Australian High Court has denied Apple's request to appeal an injunction on the Samsung Galaxy Tab that was recently overturned by the Federal Court, reports the SMH.

In the High Court today Apple's lawyers again pressed their case that the original judge was correct in granting the injunction against the Galaxy Tab. They said the Federal Court analysis in overturning the ban was "replete with error" and maintained the original judge conducted the proper analysis.

One of the judges today said Apple only won the original ban by the "skin of its teeth" as Samsung was penalized for refusing to agree to an early final hearing.


Samsung's tablet should be available to take home from stores ''towards the latter part of next week'', Samsung Australia vice-president of telecommunications, Tyler McGee said. The RRP of its 16GB Wi-Fi Galaxy Tab will be $579 and 3G version will be $729.
