A U.S. judge rejects lawsuit against Samsung Apple

Apple maintains a grueling legal battle in a dozen countries from the South Korean company, whom he accuses of copying your iPhone and its iPad tablet
District Judge Lucy Koh California on Friday rejected Apple's request to block U.S. sales of three phones and a Samsung tablet. Apple maintains a grueling legal battle in a dozen countries from the South Korean company, whom he accuses of copying your iPhone and its iPad tablet.

Apple claims that Samsung's products copied "blindly" his own and he decided to sue in the U.S. last April, for the judges to stop the sale of three of their smartphones (Galaxy S 4G, 4G and Droid Charge Infuse) and of your tablet Galaxy Tab 10.1.

In his decision, Judge Koh argues that blocking the sale of a product is an "extraordinary measure" and that Apple would have to show that he would suffer "irreparable harm" if there is no such decision, which, according to the judge, "unclear". "In fact, according to the evidence presented by Samsung, it seems clear that the biggest decision would benificiarios that other phone makers," argues Koh.

The judge goes on to describe some features of the phones defendants: "The size of a hand, a screen that occupies much of the front of the phone and a speaker at the top are not ornamental", which means that their characteristics need not necessarily have been copied.

Samsung received the decision with satisfaction, as it shows, he says, "that Apple claims are baseless." The Californian company, meanwhile, reaffirmed that the "blatant copy" Apple is "evil."
