Apple has inked an agreement with Samsung in Australia that prevents the South Korean company from selling its competing Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet there. According to Bloomberg, Samsung cannot sell the tablet until Australian courts rule whether or not the Galaxy Tab 10.1 infringes on 10 Apple patents. Apple alleges that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 copies the touchscreen tech found on the iPad and also has the same “look and feel.” Samsung agreed not to advertise the device and Apple said it will pay damages should Samsung win the case. The two companies also have a number of ongoing legal battles in the United States and elsewhere. In April, Apple filed a lawsuit against Samsung and claimed the South Korean company had created a number of “copycat” devices. A court ruling forced Samsung to show Apple its new line of phones and tablets, but a Samsung request to see the new iPad 3 and iPhone 5 was shot down.
