The ongoing dispute between Apple and Samsung over Apple's Registered Community Designs for its iPad has now entered the UK courts.

Darren Smyth's latest IPKat post relates to a decision of Mr Justice Mann of 4 April where the claimants (Samsung UK and Samsung Korea) were seeking a declaration of non-infringement of Apple's Registered Community Design by the Galaxy tablet. The action also sought relief for unjustified threats of infringement proceedings allegedly made by Apple.
