Yeah, that was in OTHER countries, not ones that matter. We do business a little differently here, don't we?South Korea’s Samsung Electronics vowed on Tuesday to take “all necessary measures” to keep its products on US store shelves, in response to Apple’s request for a ban on sales of some smartphones.
[...]
After winning a $1.05 billion US court judgement in a patent suit last week, Apple on Monday filed a court request to ban eight Samsung mobile devices including versions of its Galaxy and Droid smartphones.
[...]
Rival Apple says that it reserves the right to seek permanent injunctions banning the sale of all 28 Samsung devices which a jury on Friday found infringed its patents.
But it presented a shorter list of Samsung products “to address a portion of the immediate, ongoing irreparable harm that Apple is suffering”.
The phones that Apple included on its list for a sales ban are old models but still available through wireless carriers and online retailers. Samsung’s newest flagship products — Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note — were not included.
The jury in San Jose, California decided Friday that Samsung “wilfully” infringed six Apple patents for smartphones or tablet PCs.
Samsung has vowed to contest the verdict, saying courts in other countries had previously ruled it had not copied Apple’s designs.
Raw Story
It's hard to believe Apple is losing revenue ("irreparable harm") because of Samsung. Samsung has a great smartphone, and if people are dropping Apple's iPhone in favor of it (which they are), then what that says is the iPhone is overpriced.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
UPDATE: Japan has ruled in favor of Samsung.
