Apple wins ban on two Android devices
Last week, a U.S. District judge dealt a serious blow to Google and Samsung by slapping an injunction on the Galaxy Nexus phone and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in a patent infringement lawsuit.
Although Judge Lucy Koh
hasn't found Samsung guilty of patent infringement--not yet, anyway--she
ruled that Apple would suffer irreparable harm if the two Android
devices were found to infringe Apple patents and remained on sale during
the trial.
Per Apple request, judge orders Samsung to halg Galaxy tablet sales
The Galaxy Nexus is Google's lead Android device, so Koh's ruling is the biggest patent setback for Android to date. (Samsung has appealed Koh's ruling.)
