Samsung has won its appeal in a case versus Apple lifting a ban on the sale of its Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia. Bloomberg reports that an Australian federal appeals judge ruled that sales of the iPad competitor can begin on December 2nd, after a three-member panel said unanimously that a lower-court judge made a mistake in grant Apple’s request for a ban.

Apple will need to file an emergency appeal against the verdict in High Court to extend the sales ban; the High Court would need to decide before the end of business on Dec. 2nd whether to grant Apple’s request for an extension, after which Apple will have 28 days—starting today—to file a request to appeal the ruling.
