Samsung wins!




There are companies suing each other so often these day.(Click here to see an innovative guide)Now, US District Court Judge has rejected Apple's request to block the sales of Galaxy devices, such as the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy tab 10.1 (known as galaxy tab 750 in India). The judge made a statement that "It is not clear that an injunction on Samsung's accused devices would prevent Apple from being irreparably harmed".


Samsung has already made a statement, saying apples cases lack merit, while Apple has yet to comment


"Samsung welcomes today's ruling denying Apple's request for a preliminary injunction. This ruling confirms our long-held view that Apple's arguments lack merit. In particular, the court has recognized that Samsung has raised substantial questions about the validity of certain Apple design patents. We are confident that we can demonstrate the distinctiveness of Samsung's mobile devices when the case goes to trial next year. We will continue to assert our intellectual property rights and defend against Apple's claims to ensure our continued ability to provide innovative mobile products to consumers."
