Apple loses bid to get Samsung ban in US

Samsung has won the most important round yet in its global legal battle with Apple - after the Californian company's bid to halt U.S. sales of Samsung's Galaxy products was rejected. The two companies are locked in a bruising legal battle that includes more than 20 cases in 10 countries, but none of them carries more significance than the U.S. case, as it is the most important market for Samsung.

"If the ruling on Apple's preliminary injunction request had been the outcome of a liability trial in a regular litigation, Samsung would owe Apple very significant damages for the infringement of a valid iPhone design patent and a valid software patent," says patent expert Florian Mueller.

"Apple's arguments didn't have enough merit in the eyes of the judge to result in a preliminary injunction. But the only thing between Apple and a partial win affecting all four of the accused products (but not based on all of the asserted rights) was the judge's misassessment of how the market works."
