Samsung appeals Galaxy Nexus injunction

Blair McClelland July 2, 2012 Android, Apple, Mobile

Late last week Apple was granted a preliminary injunction against the Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone and as we expected, Samsung has appealed the judge's decision. Samsung are also asking for the sales injunction to be withheld until the appeal is heard.

Samsung has appealed the preliminary injunction dealt upon its Galaxy Nexus smartphone last week.

The appeal from the Korean electronics giant contains arguments such as Apple can't prove that it'll lose market share to Samsung. Also they are arguing that the ban is “inconsistent” with the court's mandate that market share losses must be substantial. Apple must further prove how the infringing features on the Galaxy Nexus are causing damage to their own sales figures, and not just the phone in question.

However, the outcome of this case may be completely pointless unless Apple can prove sales of their own devices have been severely impacted by the patent infringing feature of the Galaxy Nexus. Samsung will be able to continue selling the Nexus under fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory terms.

KitGuru says: The winner and outcome of this case is anyone's guess right now.

KitGuru Games: The Best Console is the One in Your Pocket

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.

    in these tit for tat crap tossings why doesnt the judges tell them that if you want a injunction you both will have sale stops until its sorted out.
    why penalize just one company when its two fighting like girls?
