Apple Has Been Denied a Permanent Sales Ban on the Samsung Phones and Tablets That Infringed on Apple's PatentsThough Apple won a fresh billion dollars in the US patent infringement case that saw Samsung basically lose everything, Apple won’t be able to kill Samsung products dead. Judge Lucy Koh, the federal judge that presided over Apple v. Samsung, has denied Apple a permanent injunction against Samsung. Samsung can still sell the products that infringed on Apple’s patents.

Along with that order, Judge Koh also denied Samsung a new trial on grounds of alleged jury misconduct. Apple is expected to appeal the ruling that denied the injunction. FOSS Patents says:

So though Apple won the billion dollars, they weren’t able to oust Samsung products from the market. Which means, it’s still going to be Apple v. Samsung in the courts and in real life, for a very long time. [FOSS Patents]
