Apple and Samsung patent war continues, and this time an American court sided with the South Korean manufacturer. Apple's lawyers failed to ban the sale of certain competitor mobile phone.
On Wednesday, a district court judge in California San Jose Lucy Koh (Lucy Koh) issued a decision rejecting the request of Apple's introduction of the indefinite ban on the sale in the United States certain mobile devices manufactured by Samsung.
"Apple has not shown that its reputation had suffered damage and it has suffered damages in the form of lost profits from sales. Federal District Court warned the plaintiff (Apple, - Ed.) That he must demonstrate a causal link between the alleged harm, including and harm to reputation, and specific violations of patents by Samsung
I must say that Apple has filed a petition to impose an indefinite ban on the sale of certain Samsung mobile devices after the May American Court found that the Korean company had violated three patents, rights belong to its American counterpart. As compensation, Samsung by the court has paid $ 120 million, while Apple has assessed any harm caused to a $ 2.2 billion.
