Recently, Samsung Electronics Company failed to win a court order against Apple. The court order was proposed as a means through which to halt sales of the iPhone 4S in France. A court in Paris denied the application of Samsung for an emergency order to be served against Apple. This court order was sought as a means to halt sales while the court considers whether or not Samsung’s patents were infringed upon.

Just days after the Apple iPhone was revealed in October of this year, Samsung acted quickly to stop the sales of the iPhone 4S in France, Italy and the United Kingdom. Samsung argues that in the design of the iPhone 4S, Apple ignores Samsung’s wireless communications patent. The court did rule that Apple’s legal fees which amounted to 100,000 Euros must be paid by Samsung. The court asserted that the claim was not abusive and should proceed as any other lawsuit would.

This is not the first time Samsung and Apple have done battle. Actually, Apple had filed a claim previously that when creating their Galaxy Devices, Samsung imitated the iPad and iPhone. In the last quarter of this year, Samsung was able to secure the majority of the market. However, Apple commands the most in the tablet market. With a bitter rivalry, these claims filed should hopefully be decided soon.

Samsung filled lawsuits in several different countries. The Samsung lawsuit filed in Italy will be heard in an Italian court on December 16th. In regards to Apple’s suit against Samsung, an American court refused to grant the request o the Apple Corporation. Apple was seeking to stop the sales of the 4G Smartphone by Samsung. Also, the request was made as an attempt to halt sales of Samsung’s Galaxy 10.1 tablet. The future remains to be seen in regards to the sale of these competing phones.
