Apple and Samsung’s feud just won’t end.  Apple filed a case in an Australian court against Samsung for allegedly “slavishly” copying the iPad, in which Samsung fought back with patent infringement cases thrown against Apple.

Last week, Samsung agreed to pull out two of their alleged infringing features, leaving just one touch-screen patent dispute to settle.  Apple presented evidence in court that in 2010, Apple founder Steve Jobs tried to talk Samsung out of launching the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 since it looked and functions so much like the iPad.  Jobs’ move was to prevent patent feuds from arising since Apple and Samsung were business partners as Samsung supplies the components used in Apple devices.  Before the week ended, Samsung presented a proposal to Apple to end their dispute in court and be able to sell the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.2 in Australia.  Apple said that they needed time to think about Samsung’s proposal.

Today, in the Australian court, Apple Lawyer Steve Burley told the court that the company will not accept Samsung’s proposal and stated, “It is one we don’t accept and there is no surprise. The main reason we are here is to prevent the launch and maintain the status quo.”

Furthermore, Burley stated that Samsung is not in the position to impose conditions, but should agree to an expedited court process.  “The decision as to not being available to conduct an early final hearing is no more than a tactical one – a tactical one which is designed to maximize the chances of Samsung launching what we would submit is an infringing product,” Burley added.

Samsung’s lawyer told the court that an immediate settlement is not possible, especially with how things unfolded.  Samsung’s lawyer stated that, “It is not going to be achievable your honor, given the positions advanced by each party.”

Apple and Samsung are feuding in four continents all over the world, in which Apple is victorious in Germany where the Samsung tablet is banned, and in Netherlands where some of Samsung’s smartphones are also banned.  But the most important court ruling may be the one in the California court which will be handed down next week.
