samsung-logoThe patent war between Apple and Samsung is still going on. Maybe it isn’t as fierce as it once was, and from what we have heard, both companies seem to be slowly working their way towards a resolution. But in the meantime, maybe to set a precedent or maybe it’s just out of pride, both companies are still going at each other.

In the most recent development, US District Judge Lucy Koh has granted Apple a motion for a permanent injunction against several Samsung devices that infringed upon Apple’s patents. However while this might seem like a victory, we have to wonder if it is because the injunction is against older Samsung devices that are no longer being sold.

This includes the Admire, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S2, Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, Galaxy S3, and Stratosphere. Chances are you might have even forgotten some of these devices exist, but either way, they will no longer be allowed to be sold in the US.

According to Koh in her filing, “The court finds that Apple will suffer irreparable harm if Samsung continues to use its use of the infringing features, that monetary damages cannot adequately compensate Apple for this resulting irreparable harm, and that the balance of equities and public interest favor entry of a permanent injunction.”
