#3So, if the ban was not justified does that mean Samsung now gets to claim losses?

#4Note that the redress for lost sale is yet to be determined. Samsung may get some or all of the 2.6M bond Apple posted at the start of the injunction, although how much isn't clear.

What if that bond does not cover the loss?

It's kind of weird to me that Apple was able to claim irreparable harm would occur if the Tab was sold, and then when it IS banned incorrectly they only have to compensate such a small amount that clearly was not 'irreparable'.
ie. if they claimed irreparable harm would occur from the sale of the device, then compensation in samsung's direction should naturally cause them that same 'irreparable' harm that they said was going to occur.

#7Apple is hurting the eco-system now. I can not accuse or defend Samsung for what they did, but Samsung did provided plethora of options to consumers which Apple never managed to do.
Samsung should be paid for all the losses occured during temporary ban.

IANAL, but my understanding is the bond is posted against the losses the injunction could cause as a means to ensure payment, but the plaintiff - Apple - is actually on the hook for the real losses in the end (whether more or less). As such, if the bond is insufficient they would have to cough up the rest as well.

The whole business continues its decent into farce if not.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1 has been destroyed by this temporary ban. While it's been banned nobody's been developing for it, and there's been no chance for any kind of 'buzz'. Its window has now passed, and it'll likely never really get off the ground.
For one company to be able to do that to another with a spurious ban is ridiculous.

#10I love and support apple from the first days when I went to canada I fell in love with Macs, we had those black and white ones and with Think Pascal. I wrote some code, got some A's for work and so on. I am not fan boy but I have deep respect for that Apple is to me and the industry.
Frankly it all has gotten out of hand - after all this is all is a good sport, bloody noses aren't necessary. Samsung should negotiate reasonable royalty, apple should agree. Slap on some disclaimer how "apple" their products are and apple should calm down and refocus on their products - as a leader of the industry. Perhaps look for another strict leader like Steve Jobs was - but with experience in the industry. Tim Cook with maps fiasco frankly didn't impress me at all. See comparision of two apology letters from cook and jobs.
And they should put it all behind.
However apple has been know as a being a brilliant kid with short attention span and tantrums to remember. So I'll make a bit of popcorn and watch on...
