Samsung scored a victory on Tuesday, when a Dutch court rejected Apple’s appeal to stop the sale of its Galaxy 10.1v tablets. Apple had claimed the tablet infringed on its iPad design and trademarks. The Hague Court of Appeals ruled that Samsung could keep selling Galaxy devices in the Netherlands and, perhaps more important, that it could distribute the tablets to other markets in the European Union from the Netherlands, which is a critical entry point into Europe.
