A ban on imports of Samsung's Galaxy Nexus into the U.S. was reversed by a U.S. appeals court Tuesday. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed an earlier ruling by Judge Lucy Koh in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The district court imposed a ban on imports of the Galaxy Nexus into the U.S. based on alleged infringement of a patent related to data search sources.
