This week the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit overturned a preliminary injunction granted to Apple this summer in district court by Judge Lucy Koh. Apple had shown it would see a significant loss of sales and smartphone marketshare if a preliminary injunction were not granted, she found. However, the appeals court stayed the injunction until it could formally rule. The injunction stemmed from a suit filed earlier this year, in which Apple alleged that Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus smartphone infringed eight of its patents.
