Samsung's Galaxy Nexus phone
The US Court of Appeals has overturned a ban on sales of Samsung's Galaxy Nexus phone, in a blow to Apple in the ongoing battle between the two rivals.
It said the district court in California, which had issued the ban in June, had abused its discretion in entering an injunction.
Earlier this month, a sales ban on Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet computer in the US was also lifted.
The two firms are involved in a legal tussle over patent infringement claims.
Samsung welcomed the latest decision saying it confirms that the role of patent law is to protect innovation and not to unreasonably stifle competition and restrict consumer choice
