Samsung's efforts to dissolve a 3-month-old ban on its once-flagship tablet have been put on ice by a U.S. District Court judge.
In an order this evening, Judge Lucy Koh -- who has presided over the San Jose, Calif., trial between Apple and Samsung -- denied Samsung's motion to get a June sales ban on its tablet reversed.
At least for now.
Judge Koh cited a lack of jurisdiction, something the court needs to wait on a mandate from the Federal Circuit to restore. With that said, Judge Koh said that the motion itself brought up a "substantial issue."
"Under all circumstances, Samsung's motion raises a substantial issue, and the Court therefore issues such an indicative ruling," Koh wrote.
Samung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 was given a preliminary sales ban in June, with stipulation that it could be reversed if Samsung was cleared of infringing Apple's D'889 tablet design patent. That's just what happened in the jury verdict that was delivered last month.
