U.S. Appeals Court Overturns Injunction on Samsung Galaxy Nexus

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit which had previously put a stay on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus injunction has ruled that the district court in California 'abused its discretion in entering an injunction', reports TNW.

Samsung argued that the sales of its Galaxy Nexus were so poor that they did not pose a threat to the iPhone and that the unified search feature it infringed on was not essential to the success of its device.

The appeals court agreed saying, "…it may very well be that the accused product would sell almost as well without incorporating the patented feature. And in that case, even if the competitive injury that results from selling the accused device is substantial, the harm that flows from the alleged infringement (the only harm that should count) is not."
