(Credit: CNET TV) Within hours of a federal judge denying Samsung's request to delay a ban on U.S. sales of its Galaxy Nexus phone rooted in a patent tussle with Apple, Google says it is already working on pushing out a patch to address the issue.
The company behind the software on the Android OS reference device told All Things D that the software patch is meant to avoid infringing on an Apple patent for universal search, which District Court Judge Lucy Koh ruled on Friday was a valid reason to halt sales of the favored Ice Cream Sandwich and now Android 4.1 Jelly Bean-compatible phone in the U.S.
The patch is looked upon as only a temporary solution to the patent issue by Samsung and Google -- the Korean phone maker plans to continue to appeal the ban, which can go into effect legally as soon as Apple posts a $96 million bond. Google says it will support Samsung in that effort.
