A temporary sales ban on Samsung Electronics' Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet computer in the US was lifted by a US court yesterday.District Judge Lucy Koh's move opens the way for US sales of Samsung's older tablet model to restart.
Separately, Samsung filed a motion yesterday against Apple's iPhone 5 saying its patents had been violated.
The iPhone 5 was launched last month and broke Apple's pre-sales record. Apple has not commented on either move.
