It appears that
the bid of Apple in keeping the Samsung Galaxy S3 out of the US market has been
put on hold for the moment. According to District Court judge Lucy Koh, an
injunction request can be filed by Apple against the latest Samsung smartphone
however it will not be able to argue the case on June 21.
Apple will
be compelled to file a motion for the ban of the sale of the Samsung Galaxy S3
together with the request for a schedule of hearing that will be held after
June 21.
Judge Koh indicated
that a number of issues have to be taken into consideration on the requested
June 21 schedule of hearing. It will only add to the number of issues that have
to be settled which may be too much for the court to handle. Last week both Samsung
and Apple filed a proposal that requested for more briefing in connection to
the Samsung Galaxy S3 at a later yet unspecified schedule
The motion
for injunction against the Samsung Galaxy S3 was filed by Apple recently and it
requested that it should be included on the scheduled June 21 hearing.
Following this filing, Samsung filed a motion which stated that the request of
Apple was late in the addition of new products to the motion for preliminary
injunction.
Following
this, Judge Koh indicated that the two parties agreed to have the hearing on
the injunction against the Samsung Galaxy S3 moved back.
Judge Koh
had earlier indicated that she did not want to be a Samsung versus Apple judge
and revealed to the two parties that her docket has other cases. The injunction
filed by Apple against the Samsung Galaxy S3 is the latest lawsuit that the two
companies have filed against each other.
For the
moment no statements were issued by either Samsung or Apple in connection to
the change in the hearing schedule for the injunction filed by Apple against
the Samsung Galaxy S3.
