\"AppleApple and Samsung have accused each other of copying aspects of their devices<\/span><\/div>\n

Australia’s High Court has lifted a ban on the sale of Samsung’s Galaxy tablet in the country in time for the Christmas shopping season.<\/p>\n

Apple won a ban on the devices, claiming Samsung had copied its iPhone and iPad.<\/p>\n

South Korean Samsung had been unable to sell products in Australia since July.<\/p>\n

The two companies are engaged in legal battles in more than 10 countries since April accusing each other of infringing smartphone and tablet patents.<\/p>\n

Last month, Samsung won an appeal against a temporary ban on sales.<\/p>\n

However, Apple was awarded a stay of the orders. On Friday Apple’s bid to extend the ban was turned down by the High Court.<\/p>\n

The ruling is a rare win for Samsung as it allows the company to sell its Galaxy Tab 10.1 in time for the busy Christmas shopping season, a lucrative time for the industry.<\/p>\n

The decision comes after a US court ruled against Apple’s bid to ban Galaxy phones and tablets, another win for Samsung. Apple has appealed against that ruling.<\/p>\n

However, the legal tussle in other markets is not going as well for Samsung.<\/p>\n

The company said on Friday that a French court had turned down its request to ban sale of the latest iPhone in that country.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
