Australian Judge Refuses to Broaden Samsung Order

An Australian court knocked back attempts by Apple Inc. to extend an injunction against a Samsung Electronics Co. tablet computer, which the Cupertino, Calif., company alleges infringes patents held for its rival iPad device. Justice Annabelle Bennett rejected applications from Apple's lawyers to modify the text of the judgment, such that Samsung would have to give the company advance notice of new product releases and be restricted in its launch of all new tablet computers.
