Apple has just been granted a temporary injunction against Galaxy Nexus sales in the United States. US Court ruled against Samsung in the patent case, which was initiated in February, but gets its first ruling just now.
Judge Lucy Koh decided that Samsung has infringed four patents, although one specific patent weighs in towards this decision – patent number 8,086,604 (’604).
It basically refers to a device being able to search multiple sources through a single interface (Apple’s Siri).
The rest of the patents Apple accuses Samsung (and Google) of infringing are patent 5,946,647 (actionable linking), patent 8,046,721 (slide-to-unlock) and patent 8,074,172 (touch screen word suggestion).
For the injunction to go into effect, Apple must post a bond worth $96 million. It’s highly likely the final judgement of the US Court to be of the same kind, provided Samsung isn’t able to prove it hasn’t infringed on the patents in question.
The Court has ruled that if the Galaxy Nexus availability continues it would cause irreparable harm to Apple in the form of lost market share. This was a result of Google highlighting its “Quick Search Box” in Android as “core user feature on Android” ergo on the Galaxy Nexus too.

I don’t know if the product banning would be justified. The Nexus team has put in a lot of effort in the making of the device. Patent infringement should be sorted out between the two parties and encourage various devices for the betterment. Fighting over issues in fights is a waste of time and funds.
I think the “patent wars” have gotten a bit out of control in the current state and will only hurt the end consumer in the end. Its the business version of who has a bigger stick.

is not a good idea
I’m both an Android and Apple user, but I do believe that Google Nexus exert their effort to produce a great product such as this phone. Some people might just think that Apple sue Samsung out of fear that it is starting to loss a number of profits.
