Judge says launch of Samsung Galaxy S III will proceed on June 21st
Judge Lucy Koh's decision to delay the Apple-Samsung trial will allow the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S III
Instead, the plan just might have backfired as Judge Lucy Koh said late Monday that Apple's push to get an injunction on the Samsung Galaxy S III would overload her calendar especially since she is presiding over another Apple suit against other Samsung products. And Koh's decision has nothing to do with the merits of the case, it really is a decision based on Koh's court schedule. Apple spokeswoman Kristin Huguet said that the "blatant copying of its devices is wrong." Google spokesman Jim Prosser blamed the huge jump in patent battles on the increase in vaguely written patents. Last week, Koh said that Apple could ask for a TRO (temporary restraining order) against the Samsung Galaxy S III, but that would have only lead to a delay in Apple's patent infringement suit against the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 and some other Samsung smartphones.
