The ongoing patent lawsuit between Apple and Korean electronics giant Samsung has put a ban on sales and marketing of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia, following a court ruling. The lawsuit, which alleges Samsung is infringing 10 of Apple's patents (including a suitably vague "look and feel" allegation in relation to Samsung's TouchWiz UI) has seen Apple seek bans on the sale of Samsung products in several countries, and demand a look at Samsung's future product portfolio. Samsung retaliated in kind, requesting access to the iPhone 5 and iPad 3 during the "discovery" phase of the lawsuit in the United States, however this request was denied. The Australian ban means that Apple will have to reimburse Samsung for lost sales if their lawsuit is eventually overturned – although given the currently low volumes of Android tablet sales and Apple's massive cash reserves, this is probably a risk the company is more than happy to take.
