(GugukluhayaT) Samsung pulls tablet PC from trade show amid row

South Korea's Samsung Electronics said Monday it has withdrawn its new
tablet computer from a major electronics fair in Berlin after a German
court accepted a complaint from US rival Apple.

Samsung Sunday removed its Galaxy Tab 7.7 inch from the annual IFA
show following an order Friday from a district court in Duesseldorf
banning sales and marketing, a company spokesman told AFP.

"Samsung respects the court's decision... and therefore decided not to
display any more the Galaxy Tab 7.7 in the IFA," the company said in a
statement.

Samsung however vowed to take "all available measures, including legal
options" to defend its presence in the European market, saying the
court ruling "severely limits consumer choice in Germany".

Friday's move by the Duesseldorf court follows an interim ban in late
August on German sales of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1. That ban remains
in force until the court makes its final ruling on Friday.

Samsung -- the world's second-biggest mobile phone maker -- is
embroiled in a series of patent lawsuits with Apple over designs and
technologies in their smartphone and tablet computers.

Apple, in complaints filed to courts in several countries, requested a
ban on the selling and marketing of Samsung smartphones and tablet
PCs, which it said had "slavishly" copied Apple's market-leading
iPhone and iPad.

Samsung has launched counter-suits, claiming Apple infringed its
wireless technologies.
