Apple Tells Retailers To Stop Selling Certain Samsung Devices

[wraggster]

walterbyrd ([email protected]) writes with news that Apple has been sending out letters to carriers and retailers who sell the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Galaxy Nexus, informing them of a court-mandated ban on sales and warning them against continuing to market the devices (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57472222-37/apple-warns-retailers-to-stop-selling-certain-samsung-devices/). The court order for the patent case on the Galaxy Tab says Samsung and "those acting in concert" with them are enjoined from selling the devices, and Apple has used the letters to point this out. Samsung, of course, disagrees: "Apple’s menacing letters greatly overreach (http://www.fosspatents.com/2012/07/apple-contacted-us-carriers-and.html), incorrectly claiming that third-party retailers are subject to the prohibitions of the preliminary injunction, which they clearly are not."
