Apple and Samsung have made their way down under once again to continue waging their global patent battle.
Federal Court Justice Annabelle Bennett is apparently not amused. According to Bloomberg, she said the dispute was "ridiculous" and should probably be settled in mediation.
Apple vs. Samsung first made its way to Australia last year after Apple sued Samsung for copying the look and feel of its iOS devices with Galaxy phones and tablets. The fight quickly moved overseas, including Australia. Samsung countersued Apple in September over three patents regarding 3G data transmissions, but not before Australian officials temporarily banned the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the country. It has since been allowed back on store shelves.
Justice Bennett was not happy to see the two companies back in an Australian courtroom. If it were any two other companies, the case would have been sent to settlement talks immediately, she said, according to Bloomberg.
It's not clear if that will actually happen. In the U.S., Apple and Samsung tried to resolve their differences with settlement talks, but to no avail. Recently, in fact, a U.S. court banned the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the country.
The case kicks off about a month after Apple was fined approximately $2 million for misleading the Australian public about the new iPad's 4G capabilities.
