SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Samsung scored a minor victory in its case against Apple this afternoon, with the removal of three allegedly infringing phones from the trial.
In an order, U.S. District Court judge Lucy Koh excluded Galaxy Ace, Galaxy S i9000, and Galaxy S II i9100, world phones that could be purchased in the U.S., but that weren't sold by Samsung's telecommunications and electronics divisions in the U.S.
In its complaint, Apple claimed these devices infringed on its patents, as well as the look and feel of the iPhone.
The decision, which still leaves Samsung Electronics Company Ltd. on the hook, came at the end of Apple's case against Samsung, which marks a turning point in the trial. It is now Samsung's turn to go on offense. So far, Samsung has spent more of its time than Apple cross-examining Apple's witnesses, which have included top executives as well as experts in design and marketing.
The three phones make up just a part of Apple's case against Samsung, which included more than 20 phones and two of Samsung's tablets.
Samsung is expected to wrap up its half of the case by next Tuesday, with jury deliberations to follow.
