U.S. court clears Samsung phone, deals blow to Apple
Apple is waging war on several fronts against Google, whose Android software
powers many of the Korean giant's devices. In one of the more visible signs
of that battle, a high-wattage trial to determine whether Samsung's
products infringed on Apple patents ended in August with a sweeping victory
for the iPhone maker.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled that the district
court in California "abused its discretion in entering an injunction." The
appeals court has sent the case back to a lower California court for
reconsideration.
The Nexus is an ageing product in Samsung's lineup, with a plethora of new
tablets and smartphones intended for launch before the holidays. But
overturning of the pre-trial ban is a slap across the face for Apple because
the patents in the Nexus case - which involve software-enabled features
such as click-to-zoom and so on - are directly related to features of
Android, which powers the majority of the world's smartphones.
On Wednesday, Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt called the intensifying
struggle between Apple and his company a "defining fight" for the future of
the mobile industry.
"We've not seen ... competitive fights on this scale," he said during an
interview with tech blog AllThingsDigital at New York's 92nd Street Y.
