Samsung preparing iPhone 5 legal action for Europe

Rumors around saying that Samsung is getting ready to block sales of the iPhone 5 in Europe, though they have not quite settled in which countries they will be launching legal action. South Korea is a natural choice, but Europe is apparently in discussions, and would put a significantly larger wrench into Apple plans. While that seems a little pre-emptive, you cannot blame them for being on the offensive after Apple blocked the Tab in Australia and Germany.

The nature of what Samsung complaints might be still are not clear, but I am sure they will be able to to find something. Samsung actually demanded to see the iPhone 5 and iPad 3 in courts awhile back to ensure Apple was not stepping on any of their technology, but to no avail.
