Samsung Could Have Their Products Banned After All

Apple and Samsung are currently fighting it out in the courts (still) over how much Samsung’s damages to the Cupertino company should be, but it seems that Samsung might have more to worry about than just money. According to the Wall Street Journal, they have reported that the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, they state that judge who made the original ruling against the ban of Samsung’s products, Judge Lucy Koh, should reconsider her ruling and recommends that she “spend more time considering evidence offered by the iPhone maker to support arguments that Apple is being irreparably harmed by Samsung’s patent infringement.”

Back in 2012, Apple appealed to have up to 8 Samsung products banned due to alleged patent infringement. These products included older models, such as the Samsung Galaxy S2 and the Droid Charge being some of them. At this point in time it’s safe to say that even if the courts were to agree to ban these products, it would not hurt Samsung much financially, although it would set a legal precedent that Apple could use in the future against Samsung’s newer phones. Will the ruling be changed and could we see the ban actually enforced? We guess we will just have to wait and see, and just when we thought the patent war between the companies had started to die down as well!
