Rating: Motricity raises $28 million
Apple’s shares fell two per cent to $628.10 yesterday [October 11th 2012] after a US appeals court overturned a preliminary injunction on the sale of Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus smartphone. The court ruled that the Californian district court which had issued the ban in June, had “abused its discretion in entering an injunction.” This has dealt a major blow to Apple in its battle against Google’s Android mobile OS.
Experts believe the ruling could hamper future attempts to ban competitors’ products.
That’s lucky because the case was against the Nexus not the Galaxy which would have been more devastating.
