Apple will not be able to bar sales of Samsung’s Galaxy S III smartphone before its June 21 launch in the U.S., a judge has ruled.
U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, Calif., ruled this week that Apple’s push to block sales of the Galaxy S III in just over a week wouldn’t fit on her calendar, according to Reuters. Apple had hoped to win a quick ruling that would push back the launch of Samsung’s new flagship Android-based phone.
