Samsung just got a gift from the top of its wish list. Australia’s high court has lifted the ban on its Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia, just in time for holiday sales. The ruling ended a legal dispute with Apple over alleged patent violations. The saga began in April when Apple launched legal actions against Samsung in several countries, claiming the Galaxy Tab 10.1 copied the iPad and that Samsung had copied iPhone design elements in its smartphones. Samsung countersued. The suits and countersuits have been fought in 10 countries, including Germany, Japan, Italy, Australia, the U.S. and France.
