Apple’s block of Samsung devices denied in US, allegations ‘lack merit’
In the world of technology lawsuits, Apple’s serious gripe with Samsung grabs all of the headlines due to Apple’s seemingly relentless assault on the Korean company regarding patents and also how Samsung’s devices look ‘similar’. Now, however, Apple has received a major blow against their request to have Samsung Galaxy devices blocked in the US, after a US District Court judge rejected it. ”It is not clear that an injunction on Samsung’s accused devices would prevent Apple from being irreparably harmed” the judge said on the decision.
Whilst this is bad news for Apple however it is great news for Samsung, who have come out and said that this decision clearly shows that Apple’s allegations ‘lack merit’. You can see their response to this news below.

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.
