Matt Macari of The Verge reports that Apple is looking to ban the sale of eight Samsung smartphone models based on their victory in the patent case against the Korean tech company. The post-trial preliminary injunction, filed today, reads:
In response to the Court’s August 24, 2012, Apple respectfully submits the following chart, reflecting the eight out of the twenty-eight adjudicated infringing products for which it seeks a preliminary injunction pending a final injunction. Each “X” reflects a jury finding in Apple’s favor and the “Q[__]” reference identifies the question on the verdict form at which the finding can be found.
Although the jury found that 28 Samsung products had infringed, Apple is picking its spots and only going after these eight smartphones, all of which are still available in the U.S.:
It’s interesting that three of the eight were not judged to have infringed on utility, just design and “trade dress.” There is still a preliminary injunction on Samsung’s Galaxy Tab 10.1 in force, though the jury did not hold up Apple’s infringement claims on that product. The injunction hearing for the eight smartphones is slated for September 20th.
According to Forbes contributor Nigam Arora, though, this ban is all for show and less significant than it may seem. Read his post to find out why.
