Samsung to sell Galaxy tablets in Australia - It's Merry Christmas for Samsung in Australia

Apple won a ban on the devices, claiming Samsung had copied its iPhone and iPad.

South Korean Samsung had been unable to sell products in Australia since July.

The two companies are engaged in legal battles in more than 10 countries since April accusing each other of infringing smartphone and tablet patents.

In a blow for Samsung, Australia's Federal Court in October placed a temporary sales ban on the sale of its Galaxy Tab 10.1 ahead of a final hearing that's expected to occur early next year. The ruling was overturned on appeal but Apple applied to the High Court to have the ban reinstated.

"Apple's application for special leave to appeal was dismissed with costs," a spokeswoman for the High Court said Friday.

Samsung said in a statement that the tablet "will be available in stores in time for the Christmas shopping period" but didn't name a specific date.
