Apple's bid for quick win denied

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- A federal judge on Friday denied Apple Inc.'s demands for an immediate victory in a multi-billion-dollar patent trial.

Apple sought the long-shot bid as punishment for Samsung Electronics Inc.'s decision to issue a controversial press release on the first day of testimony.

The San Jose Mercury News reported Friday that U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh denied Apple's request after ascertaining the nine jurors refrained from reading media accounts based on the news release.

Samsung attorney John Quinn authorized the release Tuesday, which complained about Koh's exclusion of evidence favourable to Samsung. The release included the evidence.

Apple sued Samsung last year alleging that some of the South Korean company's smartphones and computer tablets are illegal knockoffs of Apple's iPhone and iPad. Samsung denies the allegations and argues that all companies in the phone industry mimic each other's successes legally.
