Okay, I didn't see this one coming. German press agency dpa is reporting that Apple has been granted a preliminary injunction barring Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 from being distributed in the entire European Union except for The Netherlands, over a design patent. Competition at its finest, people, and this is clearly in the interest of consumers. I'm ashamed to be European. Updates in the article now. This iterative update process isn't really working when you've got a gazillion of them.

Sorry it's in French.
A shoe designer called Louboutin in the United States wanted to protect the red sole of its shoes against Saint Laurent copying. This has been judged in court and he lost.

If you can do it for the shoes, you can do it for the shape of the box...
