Apple Can't Block US Sales of Samsung Devices

An anonymous reader snips this good news (for Samsung fans) from Edible Apple "In April of 2011, Apple kicked off what would soon become a global and complex series of litigation disputes when it sued Samsung in the U.S. claiming that its line of Galaxy smartphones and tablets infringed upon Apple's intellectual property and were nothing more than 'slavish' copies. As part of its suit, Apple requested a preliminary injunction that would bar Samsung from selling said products in the U.S. This past Friday, Judge Lucy Koh denied Apple's motion for a preliminary injunction."

Judge in an untenable position

[wisebabo]

As a fellow Korean American, I'm wondering what kind of position she would've been under; with her husband (assuming he's also of Korean extraction), her relatives, classmates (if she was educated in Korea), and perhaps church (if she had been going to, as is often the case, a Korean church); if she had blocked Samsung.

Samsung is widely regarded (whether deserved or not) as a national treasure in Korea with a HUGE percentage of the ENTIRE ECONOMY (I think it's something crazy like 25%!). So I can guarantee that a decision against them would not be looked upon kindly by the average Korean.
