Appeals Court says Samsung GALAXY Nexus sales can continue during trial
This update removed local search from the Samsung GALAXY Nexus
Judge Koh had slapped the injunction on the Samsung GALAXY Nexus for its alleged infringement of the '604 Siri patent which has to do with universal or local search on the device. Subsequent updates by Samsung removed the offending feature from the phone as well as from the Sprint and AT&T versions of the Samsung Galaxy S III. Sammy did not want to take a chance of having its flagship model banned. While the local search feature was removed from the international variant of the Samsung Galaxy S III, the Korean manufacturer said that the update that removed the feature was sent n error and a subsequent update reinstated local search on the GT-i9300.
Moving back to the Samsung GALAXY Nexus, Judge Koh said that Apple had presented a "plausible theory" of irreparable harm and long-term loss of market share from the alleged infringement. Samsung clams that Siri is a different feature than the unified search covered in the '604 patent and that the patent is invalid and is interpreted incorrectly.
