The California federal judge who issued a preliminary injunction in June against U.S. sales of a Samsung tablet has lifted the ban. Judge Lucy Koh had originally found the Galaxy Tab 10.1 likely violated a design patent held by Apple, but a jury found in August that it did not. Apple was the overall winner in that particular case, but Samsung scored on the issue of the iPad design patent and asked that the ban be lifted. Moreover, on Monday Samsung filed a motion with the U.S. court to pull Apple’s newly released iPhone 5 into the ongoing battle.
