An appeals court today said a lower court was wrong to deny Apple’s request of an injunction against select Samsung smartphones.
In May 2014, a jury awarded Apple $120 million in a case against Samsung concerning patents. Despite the victory, the court did not agree with Apple’s wish to ban the offending handsets. The U.S Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said the lower court “abused its discretion” by denying the injunction.
The appeals court did not detail what steps Apple may take next, nor did it say if the ban should now be put in place. Apple did not immediately offer comment on the decision.
