Apple had asked the court to block Samsung from selling phones and tablets that include patented technologies that a jury found Samsung infringed earlier this year.</p><p>
But in her order Wednesday, Judge Lucy Koh of the federal district court in San Jose, California, said Apple failed to show it suffered “irreparable harm” as a result of Samsung’s actions.</p><p>
“Apple has not established that it suffered significant harm in the form of either lost sales or reputational injury,” Koh wrote. Moreover, she said, Apple hasn’t shown that the harm it suffered was a direct result of the infringement.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2599860/apple-loses-bid-for-sales-ban-in-samsung-patent-case.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
