“A U.S. appeals court has denied Apple Inc.’s request to ban sales of a Samsung Electronics Co smartphone, marking another setback for Apple in the protracted patent battle with its South Korean rival,” Ian Sherr reports for Dow Jones Newswires.
“The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said in an order issued Thursday that it denied Apple’s request for a rehearing over an injunction it requested against Samsung’s ‘Galaxy Nexus’ phone, which was released over a year ago,” Sherr reports. “The short statement did not give a reason.”
MacDailyNews Take: General incompetence and the usual fuckery?
Sherr reports, “Apple’s legal battles so far have shown some success. The Cupertino, Calif., technology giant scored a major win in August, when a jury in California awarded it more than $1 billion in damages after it found Samsung infringed upon six Apple patents. Judge Lucy Koh, who also initially handed down the Galaxy Nexus ban in this case, recently said Samsung had not willfully infringed Apple’s patents, closing the door to additional damages. That case is still being wrapped up in California.

++ MDN, what kind of judicial systems are we into? favoring thieves
and robbers!
As long as the criminals say that they didn’t mean to to it.
Or don’t admit they’ve committed a crime, but agree to not do it again “nolo contender”
Potential reason: A “banking error” out of South Korea in the judge’s favor.
Shame on US courts to protect IP thieves. Shame on US courts to fail home grown US based company like Apple from protecting their hard work.
It’s like my country is hell-bent on self-destruction these days. The historical analysis of this dumbass era is going to be fascinating. From my own POV, it’s all about Marketing-As-Management taking over the world, with the usual results. 😛 Don’t fall for it Apple!
shame? yeah, very shameful. apple can’t patent round corner design for shit. it was existed before iphone. judge finally woke up that apple was bullshit. for the future, any kind of lawsuit won’t help apple. they will continue to lose, and company will die. do you know what do VP think nowadays? they don’t work hard, think about making more money for retirement. Tim Cook is not different neither.
Edward can’t speak Engrish for shit.
YOU back, a$$hole?
Go Fsck yourself.
MDN: “General incompetence and the usual fuckery?”
Without a doubt. As I have said before, U. S. Patents are not worth the paper on which they are printed, except if you count using them to wrap rotting fish, a use for which they are eminently fitting.
God job judge 🙂
Thernonuclear not!
If Everyone Can Just Squeeze The Juice, Why Does Apple Bother To Apply And Wait For Patent Approvals?
MDN. you stupid. no matter how you show us that pics, it doesn’t matter that apple already lost. period. you don’t have any power to change the game. well, journalism is all bullshit anyway. I think that it is time to remove MDN from internet.
Gee Edward, who should be removed from the internet?
Mr. Ed, you are talking out of the wrong end again.
BTW, loved your show.
