Galaxy Tab Ban Set to Take Effect as Judge Denies Samsung’s Request for a Reprieve

A federal judge on July 2 paved the way for a ban on U.S. sales of Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 to go into effect.

U.S. District Court Judge Lucy Koh issued an injunction on that product last week, as well as a separate injunction barring sales of the Galaxy Nexus smartphone in patent infringement cases brought by Apple against Samsung. Samsung appealed the ruling over the weekend, asking a federal appeals court to put the injunctions on hold. Judge Koh is also being asked to put the injunction on hold. On July 2 she denied a stay for the Tab ban, but has yet to rule on that request relative to the Nexus.
