New coup de theatre this Friday since the Court of appeal of Washington lifted the ban on a provisional basis, pending new elements on the part of Apple that must be communicated before July 12.
In addition, Apple must always provisionner 95.6 million which will be paid to Samsung if it manages to prove that it does not violate such patents.
If this decision is a victory for Samsung, after a series of defeats legal, the Court of appeal also ruled on the prohibition of sale of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet decided late June and the first decision was upheld.
