Patent Injunction May Stop Sales of Galaxy Nexus

Jun 29, 2012, 6:40 PM by Rich Brome

A judge in San Jose today granted Apple a preliminary injunction banning sales of Samsung's Galaxy Nexus phone in the U.S. However, a hearing is already scheduled for Monday to decide whether to put the injunction on hold pending appeal. The injunction, if upheld on Monday, will remain in effect pending a trial in July. The injunction is related to an Apple patent on a universal search function that searches multiple sources from one interface. The overall case involves several other patents, such as one on slide-to-unlock.

idiotPhone designed for idiots, created by idiot company!

what' the freaking point of blocking sales on galaxy nexus?

By Ford blocking sales of a luxury car (that metaphorically would cost less, but let's not argue with your flawless logic), Ford would surely sell more Focuses!!!

If only Apple patiented the wheel.....

Imagine the misery that would be.
