A judge on Friday granted Apple’s request for an injunction blocking US sales of Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphones made in collaboration with Google to challenge the iPhone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ruling by US District Court Judge Lucy Koh<\/a> was the second victory for California-based Apple this week in a fierce and complex patent war with the South Korean consumer electronics giant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the same judge barred the sale of Samsung’s new Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet computer<\/strong>, saying that Apple had presented “a strong case” for the injunction.<\/p>\n

Both Galaxy devices are powered by Android operating software that Google makes available for free to gadget makers<\/strong>, and Nexus is the Mountain View, California-based technology company’s own branded line.<\/p>\n

In a lengthy written ruling granting an injunction to block Galaxy Nexus sales until the patent case is resolved, Koh wrote that “in sum, Apple has shown a likelihood of establishing both infringement and validity.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The statement indicated that the judge felt Apple had a strong case showing that the patents at issue are valid and that Samsung had misused the technology.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Samsung said it was also disappointed with the ruling<\/strong>, while Apple stuck to its contention that it was rightfully defending its intellectual property.<\/p>\n

Patented technology outlined in the case includes database mining capabilities used by Siri virtual assistant software that became a hit after being introduced on the iPhone 4S.<\/p>\n

The injunction won’t go into effect until Apple posts a $95.6 million bond with the court in the event Samsung wins the patent case<\/strong> and should be compensated for losses suffered by blocked Galaxy Nexus sales.<\/p>\n

Galaxy Nexus launched in the United States in April and Google gave the smartphones to developers at its annual conference in San Francisco this week <\/strong>as part of a “tool kit” to create applications for the Android mobile platform.<\/p>\n

Smartphones powered by Android software command 50.8 percent of the US market, where slightly more than a quarter of mobile phones used are made by Samsung, according to figures released early this month by industry tracker IDC.<\/p>\n

Apple gadgets made up 31.4 percent of the US smartphone market.<\/p>\n
