Samsung Electronics Co.’s lawyers may have 10 days to prove that the latest Galaxy Tab is no iPad rip-off and prevent the world’s second-largest maker of tablet computers from dropping off Apple Inc.’s rearview mirror.
A German court on Aug. 25 will hear Samsung’s bid to overturn last week’s temporary order banning sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in most of the European Union, according to court documents. Apple also is seeking to block sales of the tablet in the U.S. market, according to separate filings.
