From CNET: Samsung has been ordered to stop selling a handful of older smartphones in the US that have already largely vanished from the market.
In the latest round of the Apple v. Samsung patent war, US District Judge Lucy Koh on Monday granted an Apple motion for permanent injunction against devices that use technology covered by patents Samsung was found to be infringing on. Those devices now banned from sale in the US include the Admire, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S2, Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch, Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, Galaxy S3, and Stratosphere.
The most recent device on the list, the Galaxy S3, which propelled Samsung to the top of the smartphone market, was introduced in 2012 but has since been replaced by a slew of newer Samsung flagship smartphones. Most of the devices on the court's list are no longer offered for sale in the US by Samsung.
Apple's injunction request stems back to its winning a $119.6 million jury verdict against Samsung in May 2014. The jury found Samsung infringed on several Apple patents -- one for quick links, one for slide-to-unlock and another for automatic word correction -- and it was these infringed-upon patents that Apple wanted included in its injunction request.
