San Jose, California: A federal judge refused to
lift a court order banning Samsung Electronics from selling its
Popular Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets in the US. The denial issued this week in San Jose federal court is part of a
bitter battle between Samsung Electronics and Apple Inc. in a
dispute over the mobile devices design and technology made by the two companies.
A jury last month awarded Apple $1.05 billion after concluding several Samsung smartphones infringed on Apple’s iPhone patents. But the jury rejected Apple’s allegations that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 illegally copied the iPad. That prompted Samsung to ask US District Judge Lucy Koh to dissolve the ban imposed on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in June. In a Monday ruling, Koh refused because a Samsung appeal of her original order is still pending.
