Court of Appeals Lifts Galaxy Nexus Sales Ban
Jul 7, 2012, 8:18 AM by Eric M. Zeman
Samsung was given temporary permission to resume sales of the Galaxy Nexus Friday after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit stayed an earlier decision to ban the device. The U.S. appeals court has decided to review Apple's arguments for the ban, which was put in place by District Court Judge Lucy Koh ahead of the July 30 trial between the two companies. The temporary sales injunction granted by Koh was a rare decision. Apple has until July 12 to respond to the U.S. Court of Appeals' decision to lift the ban. Apple and Samsung are entwined in a protracted series of legal battles around the globe over smartphone patents.

Let's make this perfectly clear: Apple does NOT lose sales because of search bars on home screens, or slide to unlock interfaces.
I think it's asinine that you can patient some of the things that are patented - it actually seems like a shady way of getting money out of people/companies.
Find me one person in this world who literally was swayed away from the iPhone due to the trivial things Apple claims - Yes, they may be patient infringements - but they shouldn't be allowed to even patient those things to begin with.
