Apple's request to ban certain Samsung products in the midst of last year's patent court battle might be back on the table.
A federal appeals court said on Monday that U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh erred when she denied Apple's request to ban 26 Samsung products found to have violated Apple patents, the Wall Street Journal has reported. The appeals court agreed with part of Koh's ruling but said she should review the evidence given by Apple and reconsider her decision to deny Apple's request for a product ban.
In August 2012, a jury found Samsung guilty of patent infringment, resulting in a $1 billion fine. However, Koh agreed with Samsung's argument that the fine was sufficient penalty and that a product ban was not warranted.
