You must be of course knowing about the unending battle that has been happening between Apple and Samsung from earlier this year. It all began when Apple sued Samsung saying that Samsung's products look a lot like Apple's own products, suspiciously, particularly the Samsung Galaxy Tab. And this became a world wide issue. Apple followed Samsung everywhere it went to sell the tablet. Does this clearly not mean that Apple has been scared of the Samsung Galaxy Tab ever since?

Anyway, the Cupertino based tech giant did win a few of these court room battles. The company was able to bring bans to the sales of Samsung's tablets in countries including Australia and Europe. But now, it looks like Apple is no more able to convince the commissions that Samsung has copied anything. The ban on sales of Samsung Galaxy Tab has been removed already in Australia in Europe.

And Samsung had clearly said that Apple's iPad design is just the natural evolution of the tablet PC. The company also argues that there is tons of evidence of prior art (pre-existing designs) to Apple’s tablet. We have seen what Apple had actually suggested Samsung to make the changes to the devices so that they do not infringe any patents. If you do not know what these suggestions were, they are as given below:

• Overal shape that isn’t rectangular, or doesn’t have round corners.
• Thick frames rather than a thin rim around the front surface.
• Front surface that isn’t entirely flat.
• Profiles that aren’t thin.
• Cluttered appearance.
• Front surface that isn’t black.

Guys over at Gizmodo have made a mock up of what the Galaxy Tab would have looked like, and this one for sure is an ugly tablet. How did the people at Apple even think that Samsung would agree to something like this?
