San Fransisco: A US judge on Tuesday set a 6 December court date to hear Apple Inc’s request for a permanent injunction against Samsung Electronics’ smartphones, which could delay the potential impact of Apple’s crushing legal victory.
Apple on Monday identified eight devices it will seek preliminary
injunctions against, and said it would file for a permanent sales ban. A
hearing had been scheduled for 20 September.
In an order on Tuesday, however, US District Judge Lucy Koh said that
due to the scope of Apple’s preliminary injunction request, she
believed it was “appropriate” that various post-trial motions be
consolidated.
The 20 September hearing will be devoted instead to Samsung’s
request to dissolve a sales ban against its Galaxy Tab 10.1. The jury
sided with Samsung on that part of the case.
Apple’s injunction request will be considered in December — after
attorneys file detailed legal arguments. Representatives for Apple and
Samsung could not immediately be reached for comment.
Apple was awarded $1.05 billion in damages last week after a US jury
found Samsung had copied critical features of the iPhone and iPad.
The case in US District Court, Northern District of California, is Apple Inc v. Samsung Electronics Co Ltd et al, No. 11-1846.
