The Samasung vs Apple patent lawsuit in the US has some new developments and they are in favor of Samsung. A US District Court Judge has rejected Apple’s request to block the sales of Galaxy devices. The judge decided “It is not clear that an injunction on Samsung’s accused devices would prevent Apple from being irreparably harmed,”.
This is not a final ruling and the case itself will go on, however, during the trial you will still be able to purchase Samsung devices. Good news if you ask me!
Here is Samsung’s official statement on the matter, Apple has yet to comment:
Samsung welcomes today’s ruling denying Apple’s request for a preliminary injunction. This ruling confirms our long-held view that Apple’s arguments lack merit. In particular, the court has recognized that Samsung has raised substantial questions about the validity of certain Apple design patents. We are confident that we can demonstrate the distinctiveness of Samsung’s mobile devices when the case goes to trial next year. We will continue to assert our intellectual property rights and defend against Apple’s claims to ensure our continued ability to provide innovative mobile products to consumers.
