<b><i>BREAKING NEWS:</b></i> Apple Wins Big in Trial Against Samsung

BY Scott Graham
August 27, 2012

If the verdict Apple obtained on Aug. 24 against Samsung in their smartphone and tablet trial isn't chopped down in post-trial motions or on appeal, it will stand as the largest patent verdict in history.

But the big question on the mind of a couple of patent experts who've been following the case is whether U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh will issue a permanent injunction against Samsung, and if so how severe it will be.

Professors Mark Lemley of Stanford Law School and Brian Love of Santa Clara University School of Law see a permanent injunction as likely. 'Keep in mind, a preliminary injunction is in place,' Lemley said of Koh's order blocking U.S. sales of Samsung's Galaxy 10.1 tablet. 'It would be quite surprising if she didn't enter an injunction at all. The question is how broad an injunction' ' in particular, whether it will cover only the Samsung products identified by Apple, or current and future similar products.
