Judge stops U.S. sales of Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/27/tech/gaming-gadgets/judge-apple-stops-samsung-galaxy-sales/index.html?hpt=hp_t2(Mashable) -- U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh has approved Apple's request for a preliminary injunction in the U.S. against Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1.
"Although Samsung has a right to compete, it does not have a right to compete unfairly, by flooding the market with infringing products," Koh wrote on Tuesday.
Apple filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in May 2012, claiming Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 infringes on an iPad-related patent. Apple has also filed a similar motion against Samsung's Galaxy S III in June.
The judge's order becomes effective after Apple posts a $2.6 million bond as protection against damages suffered by Samsung if the injunction is later overturned.
Samsung, which has already appealed (PDF link) the decision, said it doesn't expect this ruling to have a big impact on its business.
