And This Round Goes To..... Samsung

A Federal judge has lifted the ban on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 that was imposed in June. The ban was put in because the judge anticipated the jury finding the product infringed on iFruit company patents but it wasn’t included in the finding.

“The Court agrees with Samsung that the sole basis for the June 26 Preliminary Injunction was the Court’s finding that Samsung likely infringed the D’889 Patent,” Koh said in her ruling. “The jury has found otherwise. Thus, the sole basis for the June 26 Preliminary Injunction no longer exists.” Koh could still impose a permanent sales ban on that and other Samsung products after a hearing in December.
