Samsung Appeals Apple's Injunction Against Galaxy Nexus

Posted by samzenpus on from the the-circle-is-complete dept.

It will come as no surprise that Samsung has filed an appeal in response to the injunction granted to Apple against the Galaxy Nexus phone in the U.S.. From the article: "The motion, filed with the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, seeks a stay of the injunction for the duration of the appeal. U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh ordered the preliminary injunction on Friday, granting a motion Apple made in February that alleged Samsung infringed on several of its patents. The injunction, which would keep the Samsung device from being sold in stores in the U.S., can go into effect as soon as Apple posts a bond of nearly $96 million."

    If Apple can keep Samsung out of the the market for 1 or 2 years, Apple wins. If Apple loses the case and pays out the 96 million to Samsung, Apple wins.

    The 96 million is a wonderful investment in trying to crush Samsung.

    There is a tiny flaw in your argument: Samsung still has several dozen(*) non-infringing phone models on the US market - how does that amount to a lock-out? Unless you are talking of the "near perfect clone of the iPhone" market.

    (*) Samsung's web page can't quite decide between 149 and 148 - but that's counting many phones once for each provider.

    Compare Samsung's hardware design for phones and tablets before and after the release of the iPhone and iPad.

    Apple is using the only mechanism available to fight this blatant theft of IP.
