Apple Wins Preliminary Injunction Against Galaxy Nexus
Google announced new version of its Android OS - Jelly bean 4.1 at the I/O conference , but just after the announcement , Apple got the sales of Samsung Galaxy Nexus blocked .
The Galaxy Nexus is only Jelly Bean capable phone right now which Google will give to the developers .
U.S. District Court Judge Lucy Koh, based in San Jose, just down the road from Apple’s Cupertino campus, granted Apple the preliminary injunction Friday afternoon in an ongoing patent dispute. It won’t go into effect until Apple posts a $96 million bond, meant to cover damages Samsung would have incurred from lost sales if Koh ultimately rules in favor of the Nexus.
This is second victory for Apple , recetnly successful in blocking sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 .
"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 in Friday's ruling.
