US District Judge Lucy Koh has ordered Samsung to stop selling a number of Android smartphones that were previously found to infringe on Apple utility patents. At large, Samsung has already stopped selling the smartphones in question, but it appears that this ruling might have deeper implications for future patent infringement cases.
The Samsung smartphones that are now banned in the US include the Galaxy Nexus, the original Galaxy Note and the Note 2, the Galaxy S2, the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, the Stratosphere, and the Samsung Galaxy S3. Launched back in 2012, the latter is the most recent phone in the list.
