There have been some significant developments in the Samsung v. Apple patent dispute case this afternoon. The last we heard, Apple had won U.S. injunctions on both the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and the Galaxy Nexus, and motions to stay those orders had been denied.
Samsung’s last hope was for the Washington D.C.-based Court of Appeals to get involved, as it has jurisdiction over all IP proceedings. And it looks like it has made its decision on both cases this afternoon, ruling to uphold one ban, and suspend the other…
Reuters is reporting that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has issued an order today, rejecting Samsung’s request to immediately stay the sales ban on its Galaxy Tab 10.1. It looks like it will be forced to quit selling the tablet at least until the case has run its course.
On a more positive note, The Verge says that the the Court of Appeals has also given a ruling on the Galaxy Nexus injunction. And it’s chosen to temporarily suspend the ban.
