The Wall Street Journal bericht: "A federal judge on Wednesday denied a request from Apple Inc. to bar Samsung Electronics Co. from selling smartphones and tablets in the U.S. that infringe on Apple patents. Apple had sought a permanent injunction against certain Samsung products after a judge and jury found in May that the Korean firm had infringed on three of its patents in a high-profile intellectual property dispute. The jury awarded Apple nearly $120 million in damages—a fraction of the $2.2 billion that it was seeking.

On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, Calif., said Apple hadn't "satisfied its burden of demonstrating irreparable harm and linking that harm to Samsung's exploitation of any of Apple's three infringed patents." [...] The ruling isn't a surprise because Apple has struggled to win injunctions against Samsung during its series of high-profile patent disputes between the companies."
