Samsung’s Nexus barred from US

Samsung Electronics, the world's biggest maker of mobile phones, was barred from selling its Galaxy Nexus smartphone in the US by a second court ruling this week in its global patent dispute with Apple. The ruling by US District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, California, follows her June 26 order blocking US sales of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 computer in the patent and trademark-infringement lawsuit over smartphones and tablets.
