South Korean Court Delays iPhone, iPad Ban
Judge will wait until Apple's appeal process concludes
A South Korea judge has approved Apple's request to have its iPhone and iPad remain on store shelves within the region while the firm's appeal process against an injunction is concluded.
A spokesman for the court said the judge in the Seoul Central District Court decided to keep the iPhone and iPad on sale, but if Apple loses the appeal, it's likely that the products will be banned in South Korea.
The injunction came into effect on Apple's products during August when the court ruled that both Apple and Samsung violated each other's patents. As well as several thousands of dollars in damages, the court ordered both the iPhone 4 and iPad 2 be banned from sale in the country, while a ban was imposed on Samsung's Galaxy S2, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Tab 10.1.
According to Bloomberg's source, Samsung has yet to request an appeal against the sales ban on its products.
Apple and Samsung's court battles, of course, don't stop with the aforementioned court case. The latter was ordered to pay Apple over $1 billion in damages (which Samsung hope to have dismissed), with the conglomerate fighting back with a lawsuit against the iPhone 5.

that does not sound like a lot at all.
that does not sound like a lot at all.
yeah cause no competition is a good thing!!
The very existence of apple means competition can't be there. Read about their recent removal of google map app by a dev?
A community of educated citizens that can read = even better.
It's the last generation of products that was banned, iPhone 4 and iPad 2, not the iPhone 5.
Thou i must admit that if apple gets a bann, they are F=ed, since they only do like 1 model of each
