Samsung will upgrade its Galaxy S, Galaxy S II and Galaxy Ace smartphones in the Netherlands in an effort to get around an injunction that prevented its local subsidiaries from selling the devices. In August, a Dutch judge banned Samsung’s Netherlands-based companies from selling the aforementioned smartphones after <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/24/sales-of-samsung-galaxy-s-s-ii-banned-by-netherlands-judge-in-apple-patent-case/">ruling it guilty of infringing on Apple’s patents</a>. However, the judge also said Samsung had until October 14th to make changes that would allow it to bring the phones to market. “We’ve fixed the technological problem and upgraded products to address the issue,” Samsung spokesperson James Chung told <em>Reuters</em>. “They will be shortly available for sale.” Samsung is locked in similar legal battles with Apple in the United States, <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/09/13/samsung-files-new-complaint-against-apple-in-france-says-iphone-and-ipad-infringe-patents/">France</a>, Australia and <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/09/08/apple-sings-familiar-tune-seeks-to-ban-samsung-device-sales-in-japan/">Japan</a>. <span id="more-107814"></span><a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/12/us-samsung-smartphones-netherlands-idUSTRE79B1W020111012">
