Samsung wins bid to sell Nexus in US

Last week,a San Jose court granted rare,temporary injunctions against the sale of the Galaxy mobile devices in question,a triumph for Apple that had asked for the bans until their trial begins July 30.

Apple has waged an international patent war since 2010 as it seeks to limit the growth of Googles Android system,the worlds most-used mobile operating platform.

Apple and Samsung Electronics,the worlds largest consumer electronics companies,are waging legal battles in about 10 countries,accusing each other of patent infringement as they vie for supremacy in a fast-growing market for mobile devices.

The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said it would temporarily stay the smartphone injunction while it considers Apples arguments,the court said in a brief order. It gave Apple a July 12 deadline to respond.
