the tablet design patent case is so strong that Apple may very well get the jury overruled either by Judge Koh or on appeal.
Today Apple filed its opposition to Samsung's motion for a swift remand of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 preliminary injunction to the district court, following Judge Koh's indicative ruling that the jury verdict, which did not hold Samsung to infringe the D'889
tablet design patent on which the sales ban is based, raised a substantial question.
