Google and Samsung are readying a software patch to avoid an infringement ban on the Galaxy Nexus smartphone, reports AllThingsD.

The software patch will supposedly prevent infringement of Apple's patents.

They can release any magical 'patch' they want, but it won't amount to anything until the judge approves the problem is Fixed, and that this patch can't simply be turned off by the user.
