Apple has been granted a request for a preliminary injunction against the Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone. Reuters reports that U.S.
District Judge Lucy Koh ruled in Apple’s favor for the second time in recent days, as she also approved a pre-trial ban on Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet. “Apple has made a clear showing that, in the absence of a preliminary injunction, it is likely to lose substantial market share in the smartphone market and to lose substantial downstream sales of future smartphone purchases and tag-along products,” Judge Koh said her ruling.
As a condition of the injunction, Apple was ordered to post a bond of more than $95 million to secure payment of damages suffered by Samsung should Apple lose the actual trial.
