Judge Denies Apple's Request for Ban of Some Samsung Products in US
December 18, 2012
Judge Lucy Koh denied Apple's request to seek a ban on the sale of some Samsung Electronics products in the US market. "The fact that Apple may have lost customers and downstream sales to Samsung is not enough to justify an injunction," she ruled in a court filing. "Apple must have lost these sales because Samsung infringed Apple's patents. Apple has simply not been able to make this showing." The judge also denied Samsung's request to seek a new trial citing alleged juror misconduct.
