Some bad news for Samsung in the courts today, as the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has delivered a ruling siding with Apple in the ongoing court case over Samsung’s use of Apple patents. The ruling, which vacates Judge Lucy Koh’s earlier ruling on the subject, will allow Apple to argue which Samsung products have violated Apple patents. Following Apple’s arguments, the courts will then decide on whether or not banning the products in question have legal standing, and if so, an import ban will be placed.
Things are looking good for Apple in the case, as the courts today determined that Apple no longer has to prove that the patents were the sole reason behind the success of the Samsung products in question, but rather argue that there just exists “some connection between the patented feature and demand for Samsung’s products” – which, lets face it, doesn’t sound too difficult for Apple to argue.
As usual, we’ll keep you updated on the latest in the Apple v. Samsung case.
