Samsung wins right to sell Galaxy in US, despite Apple

Samsung has secured a win against rival Apple, and is now free to sell Galaxy devices in the US. The South Korean multinational conglomerate corporation has come up trumps in the latest courtroom battle with long term foe Apple, after the Cupertino capers attempted to halt sales of the Galaxy – claiming the product was too similar to its own products. Apple’s injunction – based on patent infringements – was rejected, and Samsung is now free to flog Galaxy products to the lucrative US market. Following the ruling, Samsung’s shares also rose by more than 2 per cent. “At this point in the proceedings, although Apple has established a likelihood of success on the merits at trial, there remain close questions regarding the infringement of the accused devices, and Samsung has raised substantial questions regarding the validity of the D’087 patent,” the court ruled, according to The Register .
