Apple wins another chance to ban Samsung phones for infringing its patents

In a ruling delivered today, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has given Apple another chance at halting sales of Samsung smartphones that infringe on its patents. The court has vacated Judge Lucy Koh's earlier denial of Apple’s request for a permanent injunction against 26 Samsung products. On appeal, Apple had asked the court to remove any requirement that it had to show that the patented feature, and therefore the infringement, drove Samsung's sales of a product. Judge Koh had ruled that Apple was required to demonstrate that the patented features was the primary driver of sales in denying the injunction.
