wrote Apple managed to get Samsung's Galaxy Nexus smartphone banned in the US:
On Friday, Judge Lucy Koh barred the sale of Samsung's Galaxy Nexus phone in the United States until a patent lawsuit between the Korean company and Apple is settled.
In her ruling, Koh said that Apple had clearly shown that it is likely to suffer irreparable harm unless it was awarded injunctive relief.
Since American judges don't issue preliminary injunctions in these kinds of cases lightly, this decision, and one earlier this week against Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet doesn't bode well for the Korean company that is also a major producer of components for Apple products.
