The American right has Apples request for a sales ban of Samsung Galaxy devices rejected as not proven that the sale for any damage. However, Apple has likely made that there is patent infringement.
The American judge said in his decision that Samsung’s Galaxy products probably infringe on one of Apple’s patents with respect to a design and on a patent relating to software. Nevertheless, the court is not in a the request of the manufacturer of the iPhone and the iPad to a sales ban in the U.S., writes Reuters. Apple would not have proven that the continuation of the sale to “irreparable damage” would result. If the patent infringement is eventually proven then it will remain so probably for a compensation.
Moreover, the judge found that there was indeed the existence of possible irreparable harm by the infringement of the Galaxy Tab on the ontwerppatent of Apple, but that patent was probably invalid, considered by the prior art: the patent describes design would be to obtain it are not original.
Apple started the lawsuit in the U.S. in april. The manufacturer demanded the verkoopstop of three Galaxy smartphones and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 because the Korean manufacturer’s devices, in the words of Apple ‘shamelessly copied’ would have. The manufacturers are in many countries in a patentenstrijd involved.
