Samsung is asking the court to drop an injunction on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 following a jury's decision that it didn't infringe on Apple's design patent for the iPad, reports The Verge.
In a court filing this evening, Samsung pointed out that the D'889 patent was the piece of IP cited in the court's original injunction order. Since the jury decided the Tab 10.1 didn't infringe that patent, Samsung argues that the injunction was unfair. The company is also asking that the court hold on to the $2.6 million bond Apple paid to secure the injunction until a damages hearing can be held. Samsung can -- and no doubt will -- argue that it sustained losses since the injunction went into effect.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1 was found to infringe on other Apple patents but not the design patent.
