The temporary sales ban against Samsung Electronics’s Galaxt Tab has been lifted by the US court allowing the product to be sold in the Unites States.
Samsung in a statement stated, "We are pleased with the court's action today, which vindicates our position that there was no infringement of Apple's design patent and that an injunction was not called for."
The legal battle between the world’s top two smartphone makers Apple and Samsung began last year when Apple sued Samsung in multiple countries, and Samsung countersued.
However, the jury found that Samsung had not violated the patent that was the basis for the tablet injunction and Samsung argued the sales ban should be lifted.
The sole basis for the preliminary injunction no longer exists since the jury found that Samsung's Galaxy Tab had not violated Apple's D'889 patent.
