Back in October, an Australian court decided to ban the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 from going on sale in the country, after Apple had sued Samsung in Australia claiming the tablet infringed on Apple’s patents.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1 was also banned in Germany, and Samsung released a revised version of the device in Germany, and now it would appear that the original Galaxy Tab 10.1 will finally go on sale in Australia, as the Federal court in Australia has lifted the original ban.
This is good news for Samsung, as they have been trying to get the court to overturn the original ruling since the device was banned back in October, and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is now expected to be available in Australia from today.
Apple and Samsung are still involved in a wide range of legal cases in other countries around the world, and it isn’t clear how this decision will affect the other cases, Apple could also appeal the latest court ruling and try to get the tablet banned in Australia again.
