Apple emerged victorious in its latest patent spat with Samsung this week when a U.S. appeals court ruled that Samsung should have been banned from using certain patented features in its devices.
According to the court order , Cupertino should have been granted an injunction on Apple-patented technology that Samsung cribbed for its own phones: quick links, slide to unlock, and autocorrect.
The whole battle dates back to 2011, but this particular part of it got started about a year ago when a California jury awarded Apple $120 million for patent infringement.
Neither Apple nor Samsung immediately responded to a request for comment, but Samsung told Bloomberg that "We want to reassure our millions of loyal customers that all of our flagship smartphones, which are wanted and loved by American consumers, will remain for sale and available for customer service support in the U.S."

"For decades, we have invested heavily in developing revolutionary innovations in the mobile industry," the statement continued.
